Tested

MacOS

• node: 0.12.x, 4.0.0
• npm: 2.x 3.x

Win7

• node: 0.12.x, 4.1.x
• npm: 2.14.x

Important Notes

The cli uses node-gyp

You will also need to install:

• On Unix:

  • python (v2.7 recommended, v3.x.x is not supported)
  • make
  • A proper C/C++ compiler toolchain, like GCC

• On Mac OS X:

  • python (v2.7 recommended, v3.x.x is not supported) (already installed on Mac OS X)
  • Xcode
    • You also need to install the Command Line Tools via Xcode. You can find this under the menu Xcode -> Preferences -> Downloads
    • This step will install gcc and the related toolchain containing make

• On Windows:

  • Python (v2.7.3 recommended, v3.x.x is not supported)

    • Make sure that you have a PYTHON environment variable, and it is set to drive:\path\to\python.exe not to a folder (Append ;C:\Python27 to the Path variable.) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3701646/how-to-add-to-the-pythonpath-in-windows-7

  • Windows XP/Vista/7:

    • Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2013 (Express version works well)
      • If the install fails, try uninstalling any C++ 2010 x64&x86 Redistributable that you have installed first
      • If you get errors that the 64-bit compilers are not installed you may also need the [compiler update for the Windows SDK 7.1]

  • Windows 7/8:

    • Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2013 for Windows Desktop (Express version works well)

  • All Windows Versions

    • For 64-bit builds of node and native modules you will also need the Windows 7 64-bit SDK
    • You may need to run one of the following commands if your build complains about WindowsSDKDir not being set, and you are sure you have already installed the SDK:

call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\bin\Setenv.cmd" /Release /x86
call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\bin\Setenv.cmd" /Release /x64

If you have multiple Python versions installed, you can identify which Python version node-gyp uses by setting the '--python' variable:

$ node-gyp --python /path/to/python2.7

If node-gyp is called by way of npm and you have multiple versions of Python installed, then you can set npm's 'python' config key to the appropriate value:

$ npm config set python /path/to/executable/python2.7

Note that OS X is just a flavour of Unix and so needs python, make, and C/C++. An easy way to obtain these is to install XCode from Apple, and then use it to install the command line tools (under Preferences -> Downloads).

Check node-gyp project for more info.
