I’ve seen this once or twice. Essentially, ./scripts/download is failing, probably because it’s timing out or one of the packages it’s trying to install is not compatible with your system.

That, or you have some weird proxys/are not connected to internet.

Have the same problem - running windows 8.1 pro, and used the windows NVM manager to install Node v 4.2.0

Looks like a problem in the install package - as the node error is suggesting.

C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Roaming\nvm\v4.2.0>npm install -g bitcore

Ok, so since there is no support here this is a way around it.

High level: You want to run a linux machine as a virtual machine on your windows machine

Simplified steps:
Install Oracle’s VM VirtualBox
Add a Linux virtual machine (I chose Ubuntu). Use a “fixed disk” option (10GB)
Download the latest ubuntu desktop iso file from ubuntu site
Under your VM point your storage to that iso file
Start the VM box
When prompted, install Ubuntu from the iso file in your downloads folder
Restart terminal.

You can then follow installation instructions for bitcore on this website
