Research direction
Update README.md's dependency-installation instructions for the reported Windows 10 case. Start by reviewing the existing npm install guidance and the oniguruma failure described in the issue; done means the README clearly documents the additional administrator PowerShell command and when it is needed.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
TS and JS Grammar Extension version: 0.0.50 / latest
In README.md, it is documented that to install dependencies, npm install is all that is required. However, I've found that on my Windows 10 machine with Visual Studio 2017, I have to type npm install -g windows-build-tools in a PowerShell running with administrator privileges or oniguruma fails to be installed.
It appears that after I get it to build one time, I don't have to pass those extra arguments to npm.
I found my solution when someone else had a similar problem on superuser.com. I'm logging this here to help others having the same problem, and as a suggestion that the README.md be updated to include the extra arguments needed on Windows 10.
