@benjaminfisher from log output it seems that installed python version is not compatible with node-gyp. Please see node-gyp readme.

[benjaminfisher]

Doesn't seem to work with Python 2.7 either. If I use that switch I end up with a long list of node-gyp issues ending in:

Just out of curiosity, why is the project still using node-gyp, which hasn't been supported in node since version 0.8?

[SevInf]

@benjaminfisher node-gyp is current recommended way of doing native modules in node. See. Haven't you mistaken it with node-waf?

[SevInf]

Regarding the issue, I don't think --python is npm option. The proper way to specify python version is PYTHON environment variable set to the full path of python executable

@sipayRT I am getting the exact same error as @benjaminfisher ...Anyway I could fix this?

I have c:\python27; in my path...

Windows 10

[sipayRT]

sorry, but we don't support windows. But you can try to up your g++ version

[stevenbriscoeca]

Is this mentioned in the doc? could have saved me a couple hours knowing you don't support windows

[sipayRT]

it not depends on OS but on environment

[nicrodgers]

I get the same on MacOSX trying to install the latest code in master:
Failed at the png-img@2.1.0 install script 'node-gyp rebuild'

What do I need to update?
