Hiredis installing error using NPM

but that question been not answered and is not clear

Answer 1

The error seems to be finding c/c++ compiler problem.

make: g++: Command not found

It could be g++ is not installed or not in the path where make command can find.

Do "which g++" from the prompt and see where it is.
