npm install gyp error with c++ build tools error .


If you get into this below error,

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V140\Microsoft.Cpp.Platform.targets(57,5): error MSB8020: The build tools for v120 (Platform Toolset = 'v120') cannot be found. To build using the v120 build tools, please install v120 build tools.  Alternatively, you may upgrade to the current Visual Studio tools by selecting the Project menu or right-click the solution, and then selecting "Retarget solution".

Do not do these,

 - installing Visual Studio 2013 build tool  ( This will not have a C++ compiler / folder)
- installing npm windows build tool (which ONLY INSTALLS VS 2015 TOOLS)
- installing VC++ redistributable

Do this,

 - install Visual studio 2013.
Link: https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/older-downloads/   ( you will have to login)

 To install "Visual Studio express 2013 with update 5 " in Windows 10 you have to follow these steps.

 - Try run the downloaded file . 
It will show 'compatibility mode  is on. Trun it off to run this setup' .  
If you get this error. Right click on this file and open 'Properities > compatibility tab > Run this program in compatibility mode for - windows 8..' > apply. 

Even after this didn't work, check an d clean up other packages related to Visual Studio 2013.


 - do either one of these,
npm config msvs_version  2013
set VCTargetsPath=C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V120

npm config list   
will show,
globalconfig
msvs_version = "2013"

set GYP_MSVS_VERSION=2013 

Now try your 'npm install ' 

 Do you think it will work ?!  No, there are ton of npm packages that are very old and without any support , dependencies will break. Sorry.  Look for your alternative.

 But if you succeed after all this, you will in the next ! All the best.

Will Software engineer salary hit $1 million by year 2030

Are today’s Developers over loaded with too many tasks?! In 90s and till late 2000s there were many different job positions in an IT team that only do certain task. There was no Frontend engineers and backend engineers as most of the applications were thin clients in the browser side as the internet band width was very slow.

The corporate companies now started adopting Startup cultures into their companies IT strategy and thus Agile SDLC beca...
