Description
Hey guys. Really wanting to work with this module, but unfortunately I keep getting the following error:
I'm pretty new to node so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Windows_NT 10.0.10586
Refusing to install oauth2orize as dependency of itself.
I've upgraded NPM as well as Node and also cleaned my cache. Still not working.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the npm installation on Windows using the project and environment details from the report; the Node and npm versions are not specified. Investigate why npm treats oauth2orize as its own dependency, and consider the issue resolved when installation completes without the self-dependency error.
