Hello klausgao,

You need to install Python and Visual Studio to build the lwip dependency during the build (npm install command). Otherwise you need to fork the package if you don't need lwip which is for the creation of thumbnails, lwip is optional in the config parameters.

This problem is specific to the Windows environment where all the build tools don't come preinstalled. I have the same problem at work. In the Linux environment, the package works with all node versions (see the Travis CI builds).

You just need to remove the lwip dependency in the package.json, in case you want to fork. The problem with the optional dependencies has been discussed in the issues.
