Hello. When installing the ttf2woff2 plugin, an error occurs:

PS D:\code\test> npm install --save-dev gulp-ttf2woff2

Despite the error, the plugin installs and works. I have no problems with other plugins. Who faced similar? How can you get rid of the error? I will be very grateful for your help.
