maybe this could be resolved by writing `npm i -g windows-build-tools`. I'm not a windows user but I know it has fixed the problem for some users — Androz2091, Aug 14 '20 at 19:39

Make sure you're using nodejs v10.20.1 or later

Make sure you have node-gyp globally installed, including all of its dependencies. On Windows you may need to configure some things manually.

If you're using Windows, follow these steps. Do them in this order, and don't skip steps.

Install the latest of node 10 or node 12.
Start an Admin PowerShell: Right-click the start icon, then pick Windows PowerShell (Admin)
Install both vs2015 and vs2017 libraries. Each line will take ~5-10 minutes.

npm install --global --production --vs2015 --add-python-to-path windows-build-tools
npm install --global --production --add-python-to-path windows-build-tools node-gyp

In your project, make sure you're not fighting with old build configurations. Delete both your %USERPROFILE%/.node-gyp and your project's node_modules directories.
Set up %USERPROFILE%/.npmrc correctly:

msvs_version=2015
python=python2.7

(where %USERPROFILE% is your home directory).

Run

npm i quick.db
