Failed npm install on win7 x64

Hello, initial npm install downloads all the required packages, but fails to continue with following log:

I made node cache clean with no success, any suggestions?

Ah, not to worry. Ran npm i in electron-prebuilt. All working like a charm now. 👍

I also get the node-gyp error on Windows 10.

@wub said:

Make sure you’ve got Python 2.7 (and that it’s in your path), and some kind of Windows SDK (will need to find out which one). 😄

Is this requirement (node-gyp / Python) introduced by Electron, by React, by electron-react-boilerplate, or some optional feature ?

I’d expect such requirements (Python) to be listed in Readme.md for this boilerplate.
