This is a node-gyp error, any module need compile with gyp will be failed to install, you can check https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#on-windows and find some way to resolve it.

1. make sure nodejs with npm install OK, check the install log, maybe you need reinstall;
2. make sure python, C++ build tool... install well.
3. run npm config set msvs_version 2015 or your version
4. install Visual Studio Express version (someone told me it's a killer, I'm not sure)
5. try it on mac or linux or vm...(sorry, I don't use windows)

Good luck!

As per this SO example, you have to meet swisseph requirements in node-gyp part, in shorts:

 $ npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
 $ npm install --global node-gyp

now it should be enough to swisseph to be built.

Hi, I'm trying to install swisseph via

meteor npm install --save swisseph
