I wanted to install this angular 2 calendar using npm. Tried to use npm to install it and then downloaded it and tried to install it. In both cases its failed. I am on windows and I previously got this error trying to install angular2 CLI. Now I am getting the same error for this package and I am not sure how to rectify it. I tried to unistall the CLI and then clear the cache and that didnt work. Could some one have a look at the error and let me know what steps I need to do to rectify this.. The error as it appears on the cmd is as follows:

I had a similar problem on windows, installing node-gyp globally removed those errors.
# before installing node-gyp on windows npm install --global --production windows-build-tools # install node-gyp globally npm install -g node-gyp
