can not install ember-cli with npm

Question

I have completely uninstalled node from my windows machine, deleted all related node and npm folders.

I reinstalled

• node (v0.12.7)
• npm (3.0.0)
• python (2.7.10)

when I install ember-cli, I get:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> npm install -g ember-cli

C:\Program Files\nodejs\ember -> C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\ember-cli\bin\ember

[email protected] install C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\ember-cli\node_modules\bufferutil node-gyp rebuild

Um eine parallele Erstellung zu ermöglichen, müssen Sie den Schalter "/m" hinzufügen. TRACKER : Fehler TRK0005: Fehler beim Suchen von "CL.exe". Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden.

so, I think the main problem here is the CL.exe error, but I have no idea how to fix that.

Answer 1

Install Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition and create a C++ Project to install dev environment with CL.exe.
