- if you use a node version manager like [nvm](https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows) or [nvs](https://github.com/jasongin/nvs) then follow these steps:
- Install the current version of Python using the [Microsoft Store Package](https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html#the-microsoft-store-package).
- Install the Visual C++ Build Environment by either installing the [Visual Studio Build Tools](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=BuildTools) or the [Visual Studio Community Edition](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=Community). The minimum workload to install is 'Desktop Development with C++'.

```
[x] Desktop development with C++
[x] (IC) MSVC v143 - VS 2022 C++ x64/x86 Spectre-mitigated libs (v14.39-17.9)
```
- open a command prompt and run `npm config set msvs_version {visual studio version}`. (If you are using Visual Studio 2019 then you need to run `npm config set msvs_version 2019`)
