I've solved this using the following steps

  • npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
  • node-gyp configure --msvs_version=2015
  • npm config set python /path/to/executable/python2.7
  • npm install web3 --save

Im having the same issue. I faced in other implementation with the same issue and I solved installing visual studio or a couple of third-party lib.
but in this case, it doesnt works, I tried
npm install --global --production windows-build-tools

My problem was resolved just to run below command, especially I'm using pyenv for multiple python versions, so $HOME/.pyenv/versions/2.7.x/bin/python worked for me.

npm config set python /path/to/executable/python2.7

On Centos I resolved by:

sudo yum install centos-release-scl
sudo yum install devtoolset-7-gcc*
scl enable devtoolset-7 bash
which gcc
gcc --version

@gitHub-Tienlele Looks like your Python path is not in defined. This means either you don´t have python installed or you have a custom path.
To see if you have it installed just run "which python" in the console, if it´s installed will throw the path to python executable and then you need to define it in your $HOME or env variables.
If it´s not installed just look for a tutorial on how to install it and make sure you download version 2.7 (sometimes it installs all versions and you just need to jump between them)
Then run "npm install --python=python2.7"
and then run "npm install [email protected] --save"

I had the same issue till yesterday,
please refer to this link
https://github.com/Microsoft/nodejs-guidelines/blob/master/windows-environment.md#compiling-native-addon-modules
I followed instructions to manually setup the environment.
install vs 2017 community version with "c++ for desktop development" workload as mentioned and do the next steps. this much should be enough to get you running.
Thanks, good luck 👍

Thanks a ton @jupadev !! 🙏
For linux users, here are the following steps in case if you face build errors:

  1. npm install -g node-gyp
  2. sudo yum install make
  3. npm config set python /path/to/executable/python2.7
  4. yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'
  5. npm install web3 --save

How did you create your binding.gyp file as i cant proceed from step 2. This is my error screenshot after i run node-gyp configure --msvs_version=2015

Does anyone have any insight on resolving this when deploying your application to a 3rd party service like Now or Heroku?

ahmed-belhadj picture ahmed-belhadj on 8 Jun 2019

I haven't tried any of that yet git support recommends contacting the package provider as it isn't a github product. Thanks for replying , 4th day and still looking for a fix. I did try another suggestion to change the package name to ethereum/web3.[email protected] instead of [email protected], this gives me no package json error, which is also being a headache with none of the options for this problem I've come across working either. Other installs are installing with a problem.

Thank you Ahmed I've tried heroku and am thankful you gave me the idea but
unfortunately I still have no response
and I'm still stuck.

Cheers
Anthony
