> What is the problem with using extensions that have native bindings that must be compiled when they are installed?
The instructions directed me to install visual studio which led me to believe that I had to compile from source. In other npm installs the compile just happened when I did npm install. I now realize that even though I need visual stdio and python 2.7 installed the process is just npm install after all. I was not trolling. I really do need serialport. I meant no disrespect. I apologize for the tone.
