Welcome to forums @AmirGhorbani

You are not running the command in the right place for starters.  
any reason you're not installing them from within the Node RED pallete manager?

if doing it via command prompt, you need to `cd` into `C:\Users\AmirGhorbani\.node-red`

and run the commands from there, and then restart Node RED

If you have what is required installed (Visual Studio), you will need to raise this with the Author.

Don't do this, you can end up with incompatible versions of modules. Luckily you did it from the wrong folder (it should have been run in C:/Users/AmirGhorbani/.node-red) so it won't have done any harm.
