Foundation install not working due to insufficient node modules? - html

Question

my first time around here..
Im trying to install foundation-sites by ZURB. I used to use it in the past, but now somethings wrong that I've been trying to figure out for quite some time.
I think I may have done something to screw up my Node install or something, but im not sure. I'm going to show you guys what i get in the terminal when i try to install using the foundation CLI.
λ foundation -v
Foundation CLI version 2.2.5
J. Clark#JC-PC ~/documents/projects/godaddyv2 (master)
λ foundation new
? What are you building today? A website (Foundation for Sites)
? What's the project called? (no spaces) godaddyv2
? Which template would you like to use? Basic Template: includes a Sass compiler
.

Build failed with error code: 1
There were some problems during the installation.
✓ New project folder created.
✗ Node modules not installed. Try running npm install manually.
✓ Bower components installed.
Once you've resolved the above issues, run foundation watch while inside the godaddyv2 folder.
I really appreciate your help with troubleshooting this issue. I can't seem to find anybody else who has had this problem and it's been troubling me for some time now

Answer 1

node-gyp is a build tool which needs Python 2.
For Windows you have to run npm i -g windows-build-tools --production to get it installed and all other dependencies for such build tools.
