Error installing bcrypt with npm
I'm unable to install bcrypt using npm on my machine because I encounter the following errors. I have been troubleshooting the issue without much luck. Can you recommend any steps to diagnose or fix the problem so I can run npm install bcrypt successfully?

Solution 1:
The easy solution is just switch from the "bcrypt" npm module to bycryptjs or bcrypt-nodejs. It's the exact same API, but pure JS so no native add-ons to deal with.
npm install --save bcryptjs && npm uninstall --save bcrypt
Then change your require calls to "bcryptjs", but all your code otherwise can be unchanged.
Long term, I suspect at the moment bcrypt may not be ready for node v0.12.0 yet, but if not it will eventually be updated and ready.
Solution 2:
For windows install the following module:
npm install -g node-gyp
npm install --g --production windows-build-tools
Then try to install:
npm install bcrypt
Solution 3:
On this command:
npm install --g --production windows-build-tools
You may have to run this in Powershell as administrator on your Windows machine.
You do that by right-clicking on Powershell and select "Run As Administrator"
Solution 4:
The accepted solution works, but bcryptjs is slower than python and C++ version.
If you still want bcrypt instead of bcryptjs, working solutions are the commands below, but they can also have their own problems.
✔️ npm install -g node-gyp
❌ npm install --g --production windows-build-tools
In Windows, the second command will try to install Visual Studio along with python and hence the problem arises because the Visual Studio installation takes a lot of time. Also it also hinders the installation of python. If you forget to run those commands as Administrator, then they will get installed at C:\Users\User.windows-build-tools which will still not work because node will search for python in C:\ or C:\Program Files. Hence these commands in some cases may increase your complications.
So the best idea for you is to ✔️install python manually for All Users. It is not necessary to add python to the environment path.
Then run:
✔️ npm install -g node-gyp
Now you are ready to install bcrypt:
npm install bcrypt
