npm install failed under windows about robotjs

Hmm I've seen this before but I'm not sure what causes it. I can't remeber what I had to install if anything to get RobotJS to build under Windows. I'll try to take a look tonight.

I seem to be able to build this just fine. I did get an error for Python but a simple --python switch fixed it.
BTW I build using npm install robotjs --python=C:\Python27 (just to be clear. I may have done it differently)

Seems to be an issue with install nan? The error logs dont make much sense to me though 😄

Yeah it's very confusing. @slifin, could you give us the console output from npm install robotjs? I'm more familiar with what those errors mean. :p

Thanks!

Looks like on Windows you need:

• Python (v2.7.3 recommended, v3.x.x is not supported.
• Visual Studio 2013 (Express works fine!).

These are required for node-gyp to work correctly.

I'm working on getting the readme updated.

I got the readme updated to link to the node-gyp readme:

if you're still having issues after installing the requirements please let me know!
