failed to install on Windows 8.1

Is this a broadcast or Atom issue?

The below occurs every time I try to install broadcast. Other packages install fine.

Installing “broadcast@0.3.14” failed.Hide output…

Are you using Atom (v1.11.2) or Atom Beta (v1.12.0-beta*) ?

I encountered the same issue of oniguruma with Atom Beta on Mac but no issues with Atom.

[jpluimers]

I'm at Atom v1.11.2 on Windows x64 8.1 Enterprise. These bits from the log indicate so as well:

npm ERR! argv "C:\\Users\\jeroenp\\AppData\\Local\\atom\\app-1.11.2\\resources\\app\\apm\\bin\\node.exe" "C:\\Users\\jeroenp\\AppData\\Local\\atom\\app-1.11.2\\resources\\app\\apm\\node_modules\\npm\\bin\\npm-cli.js" "--globalconfig" "C:\\Users\\jeroenp\\.atom\\.apm\\.apmrc" "--userconfig" "C:\\Users\\jeroenp\\.atom\\.apmrc" "install" "C:\\Users\\jeroenp\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\d-116926-4780-1hpu72r\\package.tgz" "--runtime=electron" "--target=0.37.8" "--arch=ia32" "--global-style"
npm ERR! node v4.4.5
npm ERR! npm  v3.10.5

What are oniguruma@6.1.1 and node-gyp?

How can I check those are not broken?

[eqot]

According to the log,

gyp ERR! stack Error: Can't find Python executable "python", you can set the PYTHON env variable.

you probably need to install python and/or configure environment variable of PYTHON.

oniguruma is a regular expressions library which this package depends on, and node-gyp is a build tool.

Please note that you need Python v2.7 rather than v3.x.x since node-gyp does not support v3.

Thanks. That likely is the issue. Please document those requirements in the README.md
