## Requirements to build native modules
|
|
|
|
If you want to build native modules, make sure that the following tools are installed on your system.
|
|
|
|
- [Node 14](https://nodejs.org)
|
|
- [Python 3](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
|
|
- [Strawberry Perl](https://strawberryperl.com/)
|
|
- [Rust](https://rustup.rs/)
|
|
- [Build Tools for Visual Studio 2019](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/#build-tools-for-visual-studio-2019) with the following configuration:
|
|
- On the Workloads tab:
|
|
- Desktop & Mobile -> C++ build tools
|
|
- On the Individual components tab:
|
|
- MSVC VS 2019 C++ build tools
|
|
- Windows 10 SDK (latest version available)
|
|
- C++ CMake tools for Windows
|
|
|
|
Once installed make sure all those utilities are accessible in your `PATH`.
|
|
In order to load all the C++ utilities installed by Visual Studio you can run the following in a terminal window.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" amd64
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can replace `amd64` with `x86` depending on your CPU architecture.
