node-gyp@3.3.1 installed with node.js, but later version (3.4.0) required to fix bug nodejs/node-gyp#949

[ipurdy]

Version: v4.4.7
Platform: Windows 10 (64-bit)

After installing node.js, I cd to nodejs\node_modules\npm and "npm list --depth=0", this returns among others "── node-gyp@3.3.1". I really need to use the later 3.4.0 version. I've tried installing the later version manually using "npm install node-gyp" and "npm install -g node-gyp", but when I then "npm install java" it uses the 3.3.1 version and fails due to issue "nodejs/node-gyp#949". Is there a way to update the version of node-gyp stored in "C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\node_modules\node-gyp", or use the version installed in another folder?

Try npm install -g npm@next - npm uses the bundled copy of node-gyp (assuming the module to install doesn't override that, which node-java does not.) npm@next comes with node-gyp@3.4.0.

If it still doesn't work, try specifying the full path to the npm script, i.e., C:\path\to\wherever\npm.cmd install java.

Can you post support questions to https://github.com/nodejs/help/issues next time? nodejs/node is a pretty high volume bug tracker and we try to keep it focused on core issues. Cheers.

That worked. Many thanks for your help.
