Thanks, Oliver for this wonderful article. I had a problem while following the instructions step by step. When I executed this command: npm install --save-dev @nomiclabs/hardhat-waffle @nomiclabs/hardhat-ethers ethereum-waffle chai ethers solidity-coverage, I got an error saying: Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Users\DELL\OneDrive\Documents\node-gyp-build\bin.js'. I did a little bit of google searching to fix the problem but nothing worked out, so am stuck at this step. I don't know if you know what I can do to fix it. Thanks once again.

Windows is sadly an incredibly bad system for development.

It seems you are missing native build tools.

Try running this:

npm install --global --production windows-build-tools --vs2015

Hope this help!

Oliver Jumpertz I already came across the command when trying to fix the problem at first but still did not fix the problem. Thanks for your time Oliver I will still keep looking out on how I can resolve the issue.
