+### Windows-specific installation notes
 
+If the installation procedure above fails on `npm install`, complaining it cannot find the Python executable, try first installing `windows-build-tools` globally, by running as administrator:
+```bash
+npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
+```
+Then also install [node-gyp](https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp) and `zmq` globally (not necessarily as Administrator):
+```bash
+npm install --global node-gyp
+npm install --global zmq
