Node -Gyp Rebuild failed to install script on canvas@1.1.6

Question

I will start by saying that I have no experience with a terminal or node.js

I tried to install paper.js via node npm , and I tried various methods that I found.

In Visual Studio C ++, the vcbuild.exe file was missing, so I installed the Windows SDK and seemed to solve the problem. The node version is 0.10.33, and Python 2.7 is also installed.

After fixing some problems with the rebuilding process, I get this error:
