That a pretty easy fix just do: npm install -g windows-build-tools
if you already did it, try reinstalling node.js

still not working

Follow this:

NOTE: REQUIRES NODE V8
Stuff before installation:

- You can use CMD like the Powershell to do those steps there is not a specific terminal to use
 
- Node-gyp needs python 2.x or 3.x and Visual C++ Build Tools.
 
- If you are on windows vista / 7 you will need to install the .NET Framework 4.5.1 which can be downloaded here:
  https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40773

1- Click on the windows-key of your keyboard to open the windows menu

2- Type cmd/powershell (It's totally your choice) and right click on the first result

3- Click "Run as Administrator"

4- When the terminal is opened type npm install --global windows-build-tools --vs2015 in it and the installation will start. (Sometimes this can take long)

5- When the installation is finished you can close the terminal.

6- Now you must go to the directory where you want to install Quick.db.

7- Hold Left-Shift and right click on a blank space of the directory.

8- Click on "Open PowerShell window here".

9- If you see a file named "package.json" in your folder skip to 11

10- Type "npm init -y" in the terminal

11- Type npm i quick.db
