'when ever I run npm install, it fails

I am getting below error, while running npm install. Is there anything need to be done in nodejs or some other issue. I am getting below error, whenever I use npm, for example, npm install -g firebase-tools,npm install gulp.

Solution 1:[1]

This problems occurred when we don't have correct build tool in our system.SO you need to install build essential for windows. You can install build essential for windows with NPM. But it will take time so don't loose patience 

npm install -g windows-build-tools

Make sure to do it in an elevated command prompt (i.e. as an Administrator).

Solution 2:[2]

Node.js now includes build tools for Windows. You probably no longer need this tool. See https://github.com/felixrieseberg/windows-build-tools for details
