mmmagic: npm install mmmagic fails on windows

Hello, Is it something that could easily be solved or should I look for simpler package?

535 error Windows_NT 6.1.7601 536 error argv “C:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs\node.exe” “C:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs\node_modules\npm\bin\npm-cli.js” “install” “mmmagic” 537 error node v4.2.2 538 error npm v2.14.7 539 error code ELIFECYCLE 540 error mmmagic@0.4.1 install: node-gyp rebuild 540 error Exit status 1 541 error Failed at the mmmagic@0.4.1 install script ‘node-gyp rebuild’. 541 error This is most likely a problem with the mmmagic package, 541 error not with npm itself. 541 error Tell the author that this fails on your system: 541 error node-gyp rebuild 541 error You can get their info via: 541 error npm owner ls mmmagic 541 error There is likely additional logging output above. 542 verbose exit [ 1, true ] 543 verbose unbuild node_modules\mmmagic 544 info preuninstall mmmagic@0.4.1 545 info uninstall mmmagic@0.4.1 546 verbose unbuild rmStuff mmmagic@0.4.1 from C:\Users\Michelek\Documents\GitHub\panustaja\node_modules 547 info postuninstall mmmagic@0.4.1 548 silly gentlyRm C:\Users\Michelek\Documents\GitHub\panustaja\node_modules\mmmagic is being purged from base C:\Users\Michelek\Documents\GitHub\panustaja 549 verbose gentlyRm don’t care about contents; nuking C:\Users\Michelek\Documents\GitHub\panustaja\node_modules\mmmagic 550 silly vacuum-fs purging C:\Users\Michelek\Documents\GitHub\panustaja\node_modules\mmmagic 551 silly vacuum-fs quitting because other entries in C:\Users\Michelek\Documents\GitHub\panustaja\node_modules

At last!

  • executed vsvars.bat from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\Tools. Still npm install gives “cant find VCBuild.exe”
  • npm config set msvs_version 2015 --global did the trick

What the heck was this all about? Should I blame my ignorance?
