I don't think node-waf is available on Windows. It was used to build native extensions (gyp is advised today). You might want to try felixge's mysql module instead -- I think it's more widely used anyway. — Linus Thiel

you are trying to install binary module from source under windows using npm which currently does not work well out of the box. node-waf is just a build tool, you also need at least compiler and node headers.

Possible solutions:

try to install manually (read this article)
use non binary, javascript only module such as node-mysql ( npm install mysql )

Try this command: npm install mysql from your command prompt or terminal... the most common way to install a package for node.js is through npm.

The asker is using npm. The command you're suggesting won't work.

mysql and db-mysql are two different modules. One is native and another one is not. It should not be given as a solution but rather mentioned as an alternative.
