Not able to install node module for SQLite 3 on Windows - windows

Is someone aware of the steps that are necessary for installing node module for SQLite3?
Cannot see any posts/threads that clearly tell the steps.
I also need to do this without installing Visual Studio etc.

and old post, but still relevant. The sqlite3 module relies on the node-gyp module, which on windows is a pain to install. Its readme recently got updated to explain the steps required to make this work, see https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-gyp/blob/master/README.md

Problems Installing VSCode to Windows 10

Can anyone help me out whilst I still have some hair left.
I have been running VSCode on Windows 10 since January. Yesterday it attempted to update to the latest version 1.54 but failed. VSCoce will now not run.
I am trying to re-install from the VSCode site installer. However when I download and run the installer file windows gives an error saying the file is corrupt.
Windows Error Message
I seem to remember having this problem when installing the 1.52 version in January but I can find no reference to what I did to resolve this. I believe I was pointed to an alternative install program, but I cannot find this now.
Please can anyone assist?
Many thanks.
Colin Murdoch.
OK. I have now managed to re-install VScode by downloading the .zip file and extracting all the elements into a directory within Program Files. It remains to be seen if this will work properly as with no official install routine, nothing will have been added to the registry. However the program loads OK and seems to recognise the PlatformIO extension that was already loaded.
I still don’t understand why I cannot run the official install routines. There must be something odd about my Windows installation.
check your antivirus program. I recognize that message. I had the same issue when trying to install an SQL server.

I have 2 versions of node installed on my coding environment and can't update the older version

I use vagrant and installed it first day of a bootcamp I took. I'm now trying to learn react but the installed version of node is too low to use npx/npm. I've tried a ton of different things, looked up different videos and I'm at a wall. I now have nodeJS version 12, and node v7 and my environment seems to just default to v7 and I can't sudo apt remove it
Well, I think there are 2 steps to resolve your issue, more or less it will help you in a long run.
Uninstall all the node installed
You can follow this guide on SO to do the removal steps: How do I completely uninstall Node.js, and reinstall from beginning (Mac OS X)
5 mentioned steps are enough to make sure your dev is clean of node.
This will revert your development back to default environment. After that, just dont install any new node like the old way you did.
Install nvm to manage node version management
Go to https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm and follow their installation guide.
Basically this tool will help to manage your node version on your machine. You can install multi version and choose which one to work on, depend on your specific needs.
The installation guide is quite easy to follow, for some Mac OS user there might have some slight tweaks, but it's not that difficult.
Hope this help,
nvm 100% solved the issue. Was able to use it to update the one that wasnt updating, and i was able to uninstall the unused version. Unfortunately i could never get create-react-app to work. Its something to do with a node_module folder installed in my root files that i cant find and delete so it crashed every time i try to create react app. But i think i can just use cdn to create a react app so i guess its not that important, at least i have npm/npx if i need it

Build or Compile Webkit on Windows7 64bit

I'm trying to just build webkit on windows. As usual I started with webkit site and trying to get developer tools setup. I'm struck basically at the cygwin Installation itself.
The cygwin-downloader gets all the packages and runs the setup normally.
As per the installation instructions, I selected the Install from Local Directory Option (cygwin install and source package directories are different).
There was some initial turbulance in finding the packages, somehow i could let it find the packages. The screen looks like this now.
I selected the packages (all) and then proceeded with next. It just ran very fast and exited saying nothing needs to be installed. It looked like this.
After I ran the cygwin shorcut from the desktop its shouting something is missing.
I don't understand what am I missing here. Also at some link it says we need a port to build webkit. If thats the case, how does anyone port webkit to their applications without building the webkit alone?
I know this is not a programming question. but this will help most of the people who are taking baby steps in understanding and build WebKit. Thanks!
According to this, it's seems a cygwin-downloader's bug.
However, there is a workaround...
Just copy {cygwin-downloader}\setup.ini file to a {cygwin-downloader}\x86\ directory. Then reopen setup.exe. It will show you a package list without turbulence. You don't need to click all from the package list. Just click Next.

How to tell which modules are installed in phpBB3

I am used to Drupal, and it is fairly clear with Drupal which modules are on a server. I am new to phpBB and looking to learn just enough to migrate an install to Drupal. I can see that phpBB has 'modules' but I can't see how to tell which modules are are Installed or enabled.
From what I can see, installing modules in phpbb3 is a lot of hacking flies in the install, is this true? Is there a way to tell what is installed. even if I have to run some grep over the code?
Installing modules is 'complicated' in PHPBB3. However, anything in the MOD Database can be installed (or uninstalled) using AutoMOD. This should make your life easier if you are looking for mods in the MOD Database. The 'complicated' part of the install is any Do-It-Yourself instructions. You have to execute these by hand. This is the 'hacking files' that you mentioned. It seems to be fairly common in the 3.0.x versions of PHPBB. 3.1 is supposed to reduce this, but PHPBB development is slow. 3.1 entered feature freeze in July of 2010
A basic tutorial to install a mod using AutoMOD is available.
AutoMOD also allows you to see which modules have been installed (using AutoMOD). If you manually installed something by hacking through the install script yourself, it won't appear on this list.

Totally Lost on "Installing" OpenCV / ctypes-opencv for Python 3

edit: The real solution to this is now that OpenCV supports python 3. I'm leaving the details below for anyone who happens to be stuck with an old setup.
I'm trying to get OpenCV working with Python 3. A friend showed me ctypes-opencv that appears to work with Python 3. The problem is I totally can not figure out how to "install" or get any code working. I've followed all instructions I could find from a few people mentioning installs on google and none of those seemed to work or I couldn't even get through the basics that they mentioned.
I am just hacking around with the version of IDLE that came with Python 3. No IDE.
Start with OpenCV:
The only windows installer for OpenCV 2.1 is a visual studio installer. I assume that means that it installs files that make it easier to use in Visual Studio. However, does it also mean that I can't use that installer with Python 3? I tried the vs installer together with ctypes-opencv as below, and I got errors that the dlls were not in my path (but my path variable did include the OpenCV bin folder with dlls). Is this the wrong direction?
The apparent alternative is to build OpenCV myself. I tried following the directions here and all I get is "project files may be invalid" from the CMake gui application when pressing the "Configure" button. Same when following these hints from Stack Overflow. I'm suspicious that this is also the wrong direction since I am not currently using any of the tools that are listed in the CMake configure. Is this also the wrong direction?
Next ctypes-opencv:
I installed this and the installer recognizes Python3.1 and puts itself into the site-packages folder. If I try to run demos, it tells me the dlls are not in the path although they are, as mentioned above.
Summary:
I think I generally understand each piece here (code, compile, dll, imports, ...) but I do not know how all the pieces fit together and where I am going wrong. Can someone please tell me what steps or understanding I am missing here?
I get the feeling that I need to be reading a book or two to fill in the holes in my understanding of how all these pieces fit together. I wouldn't even know what area of books to get though so any suggestions there would be appreciated as well.
Python's ctypes is a wrapper around the opencv dll files, as long as you can point to the compiled libraries it doesn't matter what the source code is set up to be edited in. For windows I would simply run the installer, then try to load the dll with ctypes. If you can get that far, any other errors can be fixed by looking at the ctypes wrapper file and editing the load section to look like your test file.
Christoph Gohlke maintains Windows binaries for many Python packages, including the production version of OpenCV 3.0 with Python 3.x bindings, released 4 June 2015:
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#opencv
To install, just download the 64-bit or 32-bit .whl file appropriate for your system, then run pip install [filename]. Then the instruction import cv2 should work in your Python 3.x interpreter.
Yakiimo san, OpenCV 2.1 DLL can be loaded with ctypes. I have tested it.
p.s. I have set the C;\OpenCV2.1\bin in Env Path.
