You have only installed Gulp on you system. Gulp is a task runner. One of your tasks requires using iconv. The error is showing the module "iconv" is not found. Install it with the below, add "-g" if you want install system wide rather than just in this project directory.

npm install iconv

Then in your gulp file import iconv with a line as follows:

var Iconv  = require('iconv').Iconv;

Rerun your task and it should execute fine.
