Hello guys
I got these errors when I was trying to install the particle cli.
I've already installed the node.js v 0.10.0, Python 2.7.10, and Microsoft visual studio express 2013.

C:>npm install -g particle-cli

@Ahmedsa1983, try the latest version of node.js (0.12.4).

Thanks @peekay123
I tried that at the beginning, but it didn’t work for me.

@Ahmedsa1983,

Would you mind trying this with node 0.10.36? If it still errors, could you again paste the output along with the npm-debug.log?

Thanks!

Thanks @nexxy
I installed it on a second PC that works on Win7 32 bit.
