Installation of @dodona/dolos Fails on Windows

[FaizaTafannum]

**Dolos CLI

I am encountering an issue when trying to install the @dodona/dolos package on a Windows machine. I have tried using this npm install -g @dodona/dolos on the cmd as admin, on Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 but I get the errors below. My node version is v18.10.0 and npm version is 8.19.2. I have tried using --unsafe-perm flag, clearing the npm cache, removing the package-lock json file, deleting the node-module file and reinstalling. Nothing worked. I have attached the complete log of the run.

Hi @FaizaTafannum, there is indeed an issue with installing Dolos on Windows (see #1559).

If possible, you could use Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2) and install Dolos CLI there, that should help. Alternatively, you could also use our Dolos webserver (https://dolos.ugent.be/server).

I've opened an issue with node-gyp (nodejs/node-gyp#3040) as wasn't able to find out the cause yet.

It seems like make is not present on your system, and probably some other build tools are missing as well. These are required to build the native extensions.

You can install those tools by installing the build-essential package:

sudo apt install build-essential
