tcpdump is not available when extracting packet features in windows

I have been trying to extract statistical features from a packet(pcap) using pyflowmeter but I keep on getting traceback error that :'scapy.error.Scapy_Exception: tcpdump is not available', I know this error will not occure in linux but I want to use this python package in windows.

from pyflowmeter.sniffer import create_sniffer

sniffer = create_sniffer(
            input_file='test.pcapng',
            to_csv=True,
            output_file='./flows_test.csv',
        )
sniffer.start()
try:
    sniffer.join()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    print('Stopping the sniffer')
    sniffer.stop()
finally:
    sniffer.join()

None
Exception in thread AsyncSniffer:

    raise Scapy_Exception(

I want to extract 83 features from pcap file and store those features in a csv or in a variable.
