I google that. but all the solution does not work ! installing windows-build-tools also does not work.

I don't know why. I re-install the node/quasar, but it does not work.

If you cannot install windows build tools then there is a problem with the system. Most probably a company windows image

1. C:\Windows\system32> npm install --global windows-build-tools
   ...
   All done!

2. reboot the computer

3. C:\Users\chulaiguo> npm install -g @quasar/icongenie
   ....

That's all. I try it many times, but the same result.

@chulaiguo Maybe this thread will help you: imagemin/imagemin-pngquant#46

Someone reports that it was an antivirus (Kaspersky) doing a false positive and ruining everything.

This other comment is interesting too: imagemin/imagemin-pngquant#46

Some other saying that "Windows 10 users, if you follow @hkniyi steps and still cannot install, your corporate firewall might be blocking the download. We had an https proxy firewall blocking it and that was the problem for me."

Please report back which solution worked for you so we can add it to the docs. Thank you.

I done! It's worked!

1.C:\Windows\system32> npm install --global windows-build-tools

2. goto C:\Users{your PC username}.windows-build-tools, run vs_BuildTools.exe, and select npm, python to install.

3. C:\Users{your PC username}> npm install -g @quasar/icongenie
   OK!

Having the same problem on macOS Sonoma with Apple chip. Can windows build tools be installed on Mac?
