Sharp: Install Error on Windows 10.0.15063

[genifycom]

I created a new directory and did "npm install sharp".

Versions are:
{ npm: '3.10.10',
ares: '1.10.1-DEV',
http_parser: '2.7.0',
icu: '58.2',
modules: '48',
node: '6.11.2',
openssl: '1.0.2l',
uv: '1.11.0',
v8: '5.1.281.103',
zlib: '1.2.11' }

Log shows:

3669 verbose enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\Dev...\Lambda\ImageResizer\package.json'

How to proceed?

[lovell]

Hello, are all the prerequisites available on this machine, including a C++11 compiler and the Python dependency of node-gyp?

[rui-cruz]

I've been there...

on a admin cmd:
npm install -g --production windows-build-tools (this should install everything you need to build)
npm install -g node-gyp

and then finally
npm install sharp --save

hope it help you

I'll assume this was missing prerequisites but please reopen if this is still a problem.
