I get python errors with installing pre-requisites onto a node.js project

Question

I am installing all the packages needed in a node.js project I downloaded and I am getting a ton of errors that I have no idea how to resolve them. It seems to be involved with getting python to run. I have both 2.7 and 3.3 on my computer.

Here are some images of the errors

Answer 1

The issue is that Python 2.7 is either not on your PATH or else is after Python 3.3. You can solve this problem by either:

• Passing the path to Python 2.7 using the --python flag (as it states in the error) or
• By adding the path to Python 2.7 (C:\\Python27, most likely) to your PATH (or by moving it before C:\\Python33 in the list).

Answer 2

You can pass the --python switch to point to Python >= v2.5.0 & < 3.0.0

Did you try that?

The problem here is that apparently to build that module, Python 2 is required, but your standard Python executable in the PATH is the Python 3 executable.

Other than that, it might be a good idea to ask the module maintainer to upgrade his build process to support Python 3 too.

Answer 3

如果python2在您的路径中（适用于许多linux设置） npm install node-gyp-package --python=python2
