I would really love for some help. I've cloned the Node.js repo and I have activated the Boxstarter script. https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/BUILDING.md#windows

enter image description here

Then I open the cmd and write:

.\vcbuild openssl-no-asm

I get this message:

Cannot determine current version of Node.js

Eventually I reran all the commands again and it worked, though other problems followed.

I wanna thank @urish for also suggesting the WSL - I recommend working on the WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) with VSCode :) https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/wsl It works (almost) perfectly!

(of course you could also use a virtual machine).
