-Download ‘Make for Windows’ @ http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm -Add the make.exe directory to your PATH variable

It worked for me, not sure why @feimosi had problems.

Visit here https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/ download MinGW - Minimalist GNU for Windows and install it. Set system variable path C:\MinGW\bin

Ugh I’m sorry, I REALLY need to do this just in pure node so we don’t have to bother with make. It should be trivial, I’m going to try and find some time this week.
