Long error while installing #wdio/cucumber-framework in Windows - npm-install

Question

I'm trying to install #wdio/cucumber-framework but I get quite a long error. I have tried to install windows-build-tools. I have also installed Visual C++ build tools for Visual Studio 2019.
Here is my output:
~\source\repos\myapp> npm install #wdio/cucumber-framework

What am I doing wrong? Is there something with Visual Studio? Is the Node version 14.15.4 not supported? Is there something with node-gyp?
What should I do to make this pass?
