Confused by Install Steps

[tiagosomda]

@anb43 it looks like you have some missing tools that robotjs requires. I had similar errors while running this on windows. This helped me fix/install those missing tools:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/windows-build-tools

run the following in your cmd window (make sure it is running as administrator)
npm install --global --production windows-build-tools

You should cd into the folder, and then run npm install/node index when inside the folder.

First, you'll have to install Node.js: https://nodejs.org/en/

Well, randy, I already have Node. Mishka, I tried to cd in, but it seems it won't work either.

What @mishka1980 said to do worked perfectly fine for me.

@anb43 What is your error message?

[anb43]

http://prntscr.com/cw224r
Reference Error; Syntax Error, am I not doing this correctly?

[mishka1980]

You have to run this in your terminal, not in Node.js.

[anb43]

Which terminal? The CLI, cmd?

[anb43]

I did it in cmd, I tried the other day and the problem still persists with just giving me errors.
