how can i fix it?

Another option is to try installing the build tools via Chocolatey instead (use an Administrator command line):

choco install python visualstudio2017-workload-vctools -y
npm config set msvs_version 2017

Maybe this should be documented in the readme as an alternative...

Same issue here

[akshayp660]

I am also facing issues while installing after putting the command it stuck at the following moment as shown in the image below

then waiting for a long time I pressed ctr+c and it shows as follow

Please help as there are other bugs pending to solve as it depends on the windows-build-tools installation

@liuliangsir @akshayp660 try out installing Chocolatey and running the command in my comment above: #240

This is an alternative to windows-build-tools. The current version of windows-build-tools doesn't work for a lot of people.
