Answer 1

One of the following solutions will work for you:

1. npm config set python c:\Python\27\python.exe or set PYTHON=D:\Python\bin\Python.exe
2. npm config set python D:\Library\Python\Python27\python.exe
3. Let npm configure everything for you (takes forever to complete) npm --add-python-to-path='true' --debug install --global windows-build-tools (Must be executed via "Run As Administrator" PowerShell)

If not... Try to install the required package on your own (I did so, and it was node-sass, after installing it manually, the whole npm install was successfully completed
