Gatsby: Gatsby on windows (new project fail install)

Created on 20 Jan 2019  路  5Comments  路  Source: gatsbyjs/gatsby

Description

Cannot npm install or gatsby new site on windows 10 pro machine. I get errors.
I have node v11.6.0 64bit installed

(I got it working on docker for windows but then there is not INOTIFY to detect file changes for gatsby develop and no polling support on gatsby)

Steps to reproduce

On a windows 10 machine run the command
gatsby new site

I get errors so I tried npm install and get same errors

I also tried this starter project
https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby-starter-default

Expected result

Install dependencies with no errors

Actual result

Ran into the same issue. After following some of these instructions, nothing worked. I had to uninstall node and reinstall gatsby via npm. Gatsby got installed on C:Program FilesGitusers[user]appdataroamingnpmnode_modulesgatsby-clilib. Finally, I was just simply able to add this to the system variables on windows and now I can user the gatsby CLI via bash everwhere.

@TheKnightCoder did you follow this before trying to install, also as per nodegyp docs if you scroll down you'll see that it does not like/work with python 3, you'll need version 2.7.

@jonniebigodes ahh thanks so much
running npm install windows-build-tools -g on an admin powershell fixed it.
I did see the docs but I'm a bit blind, I skipped the intro and went for the things in bold but the solution is in the intro. would be nice to make it more eye catching.
thanks again for the help
