I'm having the same problem as @talhaanees

[galkahana]

sais so "gyp ERR! stack Error: Can't find Python executable "python", you can set the PYTHON env variable."

per this - https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp

run from command line - npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
and then you should probably be fine

[talhaanees]

Tried it, python is there now and all windows-build-tools as well.. But still an error.

Well id hate to state the obvious - but theres a statement here saying that python cant be found.

[cdtinney]

@talhaanees you need to add the path to python.exe to your Windows PATH variable.

In the docs for windows-build-tools, there's an additional argument for this, --add-python-to-path, that defaults to false.

Full command should be:

npm install --global --production --add-python-to-path windows-build-tools
