Can't install drivelist

[DamienDoumer]

I have an electron project in which drivelist is used as a dependency. When I run "npm install",
I get an error stating node-gyp\bin folder wasn't found. Whereas, I have node-gyp\bin in my node modules, and even in c:\programfiles\nodejs ...." as opposed to what this error states.
I guess drivelist couldn't build from source code after installation. But, what is the walk arround ?
I am stuck because of this.

drivelist@8.0.10 install C:\Users...\node_modules\drivelist
prebuild-install || node-gyp rebuild

prebuild-install WARN install No prebuilt binaries found (target=10.17.0 runtime=node arch=x64 libc= platform=win32)

In your readme, I didn't find a means to build the package manually and adding it as a dependency. Please is there a work arround ?

Possibly related to #331 ? 🤷‍♂️

Hi @lurch I'm running the above command on windows, it might be related though.
I also get this error:

prebuild-install http 404 https://github.com/balena-io-modules/drivelist/releases/download/v8.0.10/drivelist-v8.0.10-electron-v76-win32-x64.tar.gz

I've got no idea if this is related to your problem or not (I don't use Windows, and I don't work on drivelist - I'm merely a "passing observer") but the fact that node_modules appears 3 times in "C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\node_modules\npm-lifecycle\node-gyp-bin\....\node_modules\node-gyp\bin\node-gyp.js" looks a bit weird? 🤷‍♂️
(or it might just be that's how npm works on Windows 🤷‍♂️ )
