I have an issue when I try to install the latest build on windows using the latest version of node.js v5.6.0
it failed t the [email protected] install script 'npm run rebuild'
please find attached the log
I use the following version of node.js and rpm

I think it is related to node trying to compile native code, but something not being present like c compiler or headers. example of the same/similar on os x : https://github.com/cryptocoinjs/secp256k1-node/issues/48

@davidg2202 You're running Windows. Unfortunately that's a platform I've never tried to install on.

This does look like a problem compiling secp256k1. I'll talk to the maintainer (@wanderer) and see if he has any ideas.

More information here. Looks like there's steady progress. If there's none soon (i.e., next week) I'll likely pick it up myself. https://github.com/cryptocoinjs/secp256k1-node/issues/20

I had a similar issue with secp256k1, judge if its related.

Windows 10 64bit
npm 3.8.0
node 5.7.1

gyp ERR! System Windows_NT 10.0.10240

gyp ERR! node -v v5.7.1
gyp ERR! node-gyp -v v3.3.0
npm ERR! Failed at the [email protected] rebuild script 'node-gyp rebuild'.

I worked on it for a couple of hours. I initially built secp256k1 separately however I found the latest version installed just fine. I then went about installing the individual packages separately from the testrpc package.json list and updating those that failed on a local install which were:

    "ethereumjs-util": "^4.0.0"
    "web3-provider-engine": "^6.1.0"

After updating those, it appears to be working. I hope that helps shed a little more light on the issue for someone else.

Unrelated, @FlashDave. But that will be fixed in a day or two. :)

@FlashDave Whoops, looks like yours was related - I was responding via email. That said, I just bumped testrpc to v1.1.0 which can now be cleanly installed on Windows. Please see the Windows install guide before running npm install as there are a few dependencies that need to be manually installed first.

Closing this ticket, as we now support windows! :tada:

@davidg2202 @step21 @FlashDave Could you guys give 1.1.0 a test after following the Windows install guide? Would love to know if there are other dependencies required that I already have installed but others do now. Cheers!
