15462 error Failed at the [email protected] postinstall script 'node scripts/build.js'.
15462 error This is most likely a problem with the node-sass package,
15462 error not with npm itself.
15462 error Tell the author that this fails on your system:
15462 error node scripts/build.js
15462 error You can get their info via:
15462 error npm owner ls node-sass

Thanks for any help

Thanks for the quick response,

i followed the instructions on the foundationpress github page:
cd my-wordpress-folder/wp-content/themes/
git clone [email protected]:olefredrik/FoundationPress.git
mv FoundationPress your-theme-name
cd your-theme-name
npm install && bower install && grunt build

and I get the above error

After following the above link and instructions

sudo gem clean
sudo gem install foundation
sudo npm install -g bower grunt-cli
sudo npm install
grunt build
grunt / grunt serve / grunt watch

I get the same error.

Personaly I am using Ubuntu with the latest node and foundation and have no problem.

Just have to love the people that espouse the Linux as the solution to everything, instead of helping to fix the actual Windows problem.

I have no problem installing using Windows 8.1
