The node-gyp Script to build the native extension requires Python. Make sure you have it installed and in your PATH, try again afterwards.

To be clear, this is required to build the module, not for execution of the node application!

[StraightOuttaCrompton]

What version of node are you using? I couldn't install using using v13.3.0 but I could with v12.13.1.
