It needs a proper build environment because it's a compiled addon (written in C++), not just plain javascript.

I should note that you don't necessarily need a full Visual Studio installation. You should be able to use something like the windows-build-tools npm package to install just what you need to build node addons like mmmagic.

Okay, @mscdex thanks, otherwise I was going to install Visual Studio. you save lot of my time 👍
