Unable to install hummus npm module

Question

I was trying to install hummus npm module. But it is giving me a list of errors. Can someone tell me what causes this issue if I have installed before? I am using Windows 7.

Have you set the msvs_version property? – N.J.Dawson Sep 08 '16 at 21:26 — N.J.Dawson, Sep 08 '16 at 21:26

You might be running into basic native module compilation issues.
Follow the steps for PC environment in: https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp

and try again.

If it's an existing project check the version of hummus in package.json. In my case the project was locked at 1.0.107, which didn't install and errored in similar fashion to OP's question.

Pointing at the latest (1.0.110 at the time of writing), did the trick.
