Install node and opencv on windows 8 using NPM

Question

It seems I am having problems installing opencv from npm on windows 8, and I was wondering if anyone could suggest some pointers.

The errors are as follows: I know that installing pkg-config is obvious, but I cannot find documentation on how to do this:

    C:\Users\Marc>npm install opencv
\
> opencv@0.5.0 preinstall C:\Users\Marc\node_modules\opencv
> node-gyp clean rebuild


C:\Users\Marc\node_modules\opencv>node "C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\n
pm\bin\node-gyp-bin\\..\..\node_modules\node-gyp\bin\node-gyp.js" clean rebuild

'pkg-config' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
