Another way for Windows to install bcrypt

I ran into even more errors installing bcrypt even after installing Python 2.7 but discovered a new way to do this while searching for a fix.

Run your favorite command shell as Administrator and run.

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

It will install Python 2.7 for you along with the Visual Studio Build Tools that are also required and configure everything for you. You won't even need the --python flag afterward.

"Syntax Error: Unterminated template literal" ... then 10 more problems underneath.
