What do I do? I'm following the steps on the page 'https://realm.io/docs/react-native/latest/#getting-started', however when I install Realm on the command Promt I get this error.

We currently have an issue with React Native when developing on a Windows machine. We are working on fixing it, you can keep track of the issue here
