Chapter 6 meteor add issues

[StoryHack]

I'm running meteor 1.4 on windows 10. I got an error when i ran the meteor add ian:accounts-ui-bootstrap-3 command. In the discussion, I saw someone used a different package which seemed to work. meteor add rajit:accounts-ui-bootstrap-3

Then I got an error with the meteor add accounts-password command. Meteor couldn't run with that, either, I got

While checking for npm-bcrypt@0.7.7:
    error: No compatible binary build found for this package. Contact the package author and ask them to publish it for your platform.

There was a workaround in the bug repository for meteor:

• open a cmd/pwshell as admin, then : npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
• open another cmd/pwshell as normal user, then : meteor npm install bcrypt
• finally : meteor add accounts-password@1.2.12

Hi @StoryHack , I'm facing the same issue; i'm using Windows10 and meteor@1.6.0
Have you tried to implement it yourself ?
I've tried your workaround but the first step 'open a cmd/pwshell as admin, then : npm install --global --production windows-build-tools' takes ages; i've interrupted the installation after a complete night of 'waiting for installers' ... :
`> node ./lib/index.js

How long did it take for you ?
