i have re-installed nodejs, python, node-gyp, couchbase server, installed/uninstalled Visual Studio 2015 Professional and Visual Studio community, I cannot get the Couchbase Node.js SDK libraries to install. Can you suggest an alternative to loading the SDK?

TIA AnthonyS

I eventually resolved the issue. Instead of running npm install couchbase, I ran npm install “git+https://github.com/couchbase/couchnode.git#master”
