 The `kerberos` package is a C++ extension that requires a build environment to be installed on your system. You must be able to build Node.js itself in order to compile and install the `kerberos` module. Furthermore, the `kerberos` module requires the MIT Kerberos package to correctly compile on UNIX operating systems. Consult your UNIX operation system package manager for what libraries to install.
