@faiwudevse Most likely you have python 3 in your path. Python 3 is not supported yet.

Verify your python version: python --version.

You'll need to install python 2. Since I see you're on OS-X, you can fix it with the following commands. It should not change your default python version AFAIK.

brew install python2
npx node-gyp --python $(brew --prefix python2)/bin/python

Then re-run npm install.

Try removing node_modules and package-lock.json and running npm install again, this worked for me.

[bjm88]

whats eta to support python 3?

[cclauss]

For Python 3, please review #1793

[Lanskask]

I was in conda environment with python 3
I leave it to basic environment with python 2
And it works!
Thanks for your advices!
