What do I need to get Gyp working on a Windows machine? I have a full installation of VS 2017 but gyp still fail to compile…  
Good database but if I can’t make it to work in node I have to revert out to VelocityDB and USE C# instead…

Windows can be problematic sometimes. Gyp isn’t a Dgraph software, so it’s not Dgraph scope. What I can recomend is, try to use Docker. With Docker you can have a linux env that can run NodeJS and Dgraph-js without problems.

Search for “running NodeJS with docker”.

Cheers.
