When I try to install the modules I need, it returns several errors at the time of installation (in this case I tried to install socket.io):

On Windows, you need to install some build tools (python included). Just run (as administrator) the following line:

npm install --global --production windows-build-tools

The installation log shows that you do not have Python installed, or that it at least can not be found because it is not in your Windows PATH environment variable. Do the following, make sure Python is installed on your machine, if you're not on the official website and download it.

Another thing, the log does not make clear what version of Python it needs to complete the installation might be version 2.x or 3.x, I recommend that you download version 2.x because with me it is usually the one that these packages require.

The download page is this, you can see that you have the option of downloading the two versions right at the beginning: link

If you already have Python installed, the error would probably be occurring because its installation directory is not in the PATH environment variable of your system, to add it just follow the steps below:

Pause ;
In the window that you opened, click on the Advanced System Settings option that can be located on the left side of the window;
Click Environment Variables;
Concatenate the Python installation directory to the Path variable, if version 2.7 would be something like ;C:\python27 , note that that ; is required at the beginning;
Restart the Command Prompt.

With me it worked as follows.

I installed the latest version of python: link

rodei: npm install --global --production windows-build-tools

I opened a new command npm install

I hope it helps.
