you need to add some config in pakage.json in order to install.

this line from your log means there is no prebuilt for this specific version. you need to build them manually. These are the available prebuilt versions. And, these is how we should generate manual build.

iohook's nodegyp@latest configuration works fine on linux, not on windows. check this. . also check the releases of this repo.

@WilixLead @lacymorrow there is lot of 'could not install' issues. can we have some explanation regarding this in readme.md.

I'd be up to merge any PR's to improve the documentation or add more prebuilt binaries!
