I am running node v9.1. I want to use the Bloomberg SAPI to query last price. I found the package blpapi-npm on npm then attempt to install it.

I ran the install command 'npm install blpapi' in my project directory. The installed returned the below errors. Is there additional libraries or prerequisites that need to be installed prior to installing blpapi?
