+## More on Windows Installation

+If you cannot install this module after first running `npm install --global --production windows-build-tools`, try the following:
+``` 
+npm install --global --production windows-build-tools --vs2015
+```
+ If that does not work, see this [article](https://spin.atomicobject.com/2019/03/27/node-gyp-windows/) for additional solutions as well as node-expat [documentation](https://github.com/astro/node-expat/blob/master/README.md#windows) and node-gyp [documentation](https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-gyp#on-windows
