Context:
I am developing a node app for Windows 2016 server. The machine I develop on runs Ubuntu 18.04.
I would like to make use of the package node-windows, however when I try to install it, I get the following error:
$ npm i node-windows
npm ERR! code EBADPLATFORM
npm ERR! notsup Unsupported platform for [email protected]: wanted {"os":"win32","arch":"any"} (current: {"os":"linux","arch":"x64"})
npm ERR! notsup Valid OS: win32
npm ERR! notsup Valid Arch: any
npm ERR! notsup Actual OS: linux
npm ERR! notsup Actual Arch: x64
Question:
While it makes sense to me that I will not be able to run the app on Linux, I am looking for a way that allows me to write and hopefully build the code on Linux. How can I achieve this?
