Install node-gyp globally, follow install instructions.

Do not forget to install prerequisities! :-)

I get stuck in this problem, too. node-gyp is globally installed, but the error still occurred. (I'm using nvm)

[langpavel]

@manhhailua Probably? :-D What OS you have? Windows needs to install Visual C++ Build Tools and Python 2.7 (v3.x.x is not supported)

Again: Follow node-gyp install instructions

@langpavel : sorry for my late reply.
I handled this problem. It's because I tried to npm install as root (for some reason, I cannot use another user).
If someone want to run npm install as root, they should:
npm install --unsafe-perm
Should make a warning in README about this problem.
