The solution is to install some external dependencies. The commands below were enough.

$ sudo apt-get update 
$ sudo apt-get install libcairo2-dev libjpeg-dev libpango1.0-dev libgif-dev build-essential g++

After this, $npm install works!

Hello , where to install these command ? i am getting 'sudo' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.

@Anuj, you are probably logged in as root user, you don't need to write sudo.

where does it say that OP uses yarn? Please add more example code on why your answer works better than the already approved one.
