I used this command
npm install -g tilelive-vector tilelive-xray
and got these errors

Are you using Node 10.x or 16.x? Can you tell which version of tilelive-vector it's trying to install? (I'm trying to repro

The underlying problem is that the [email protected] (which is now old; 4.5.9 is current) dependency of tilelive-vector doesn't have binaries for Node 16 on Windows (v93 = Node 16.x; see NODE_MODULE_VERSION).

It looks like installing @mapbox/tilelive-vector should work (where there's a 4.x that supports [email protected]), but then tilelive-xray depends on the wrong module. I'll push a couple of fixes for this shortly.

I misspoke. Just installing tilelive-xray (npm install -g tilelive-xray) should do the trick; it should install the correct version of tilelive-vector as a dependency, and if it doesn't, install @mapbox/tilelive-vector manually and you should be good to go.
