I was trying to do an npm install on a project I moved from another machine and this is what I got
Error: Python executable "C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\python.EXE" is v3.6.0, which is not supported by gyp
I know there have already been a number of people getting similar errors, but the ones I found were due to outdated Node.js installation. I'm sure the Node.js I got installed is the newest LTS to date. To be exact:
node -v v6.10.0
node-gyp -v v3.4.0
npm -v 3.10.10
What's wrong?
The error makes it pretty clear, Python 3 is not supported by gyp, which is used to build node addons. You need Python 2 (e.g. 2.7.x) instead. Additional build requirements for all node addons can be found in the node-gyp readme.
