Error installing npm vcremote - Failed at the node-ios-device@1.1.0 install script

[_sthao]

I'm having issue installing the vcremote package from npm. I need this package to build native c++ library for my cross platform app.

I followed the instruction from here Install And Configure Tools to Build using iOS - Visual Studio.

output log from npm install:

I also see this error in the npm console:
