Windows nodejs installation seems to be missing python...

See original GitHub issue

TensorFlow.js version

0.13.2

Browser version

Nodejs 0.1.17

Describe the problem or feature request

As described in docs I tried to install

npm install @tensorflow/tfjs-node

C:\xxxxxx\models>npm install @tensorflow/tfjs-node

> @tensorflow/tfjs-node@0.1.17 install C:\xxxxxx\models\node_modules\@tensorflow\tfjs-node
> node scripts/install.js

* Downloading libtensorflow

* Building TensorFlow Node.js bindings
C:\xxxxxx\models\node_modules\@tensorflow\tfjs-node\scripts\install.js:154
      throw new Error('node-gyp rebuild failed with: ' + err);
      ^

Error: node-gyp rebuild failed with: Error: Command failed: node-gyp rebuild
gyp ERR! configure error
gyp ERR! stack Error: Can't find Python executable "python", you can set the PYTHON env variable.

I was specting some sort of wrapper over the tensorflow binaries not having yo use python at all. So, if python its needed instructions to install Node are not in shape.

@nkreeger thanks for the support.

Here is my experience. using npm install --global --production windows-build-tools I ended up in a unfinished waiting for ever installation, despite that I run the CMD with administrator privileges. I have seen that bug also in that repo, mainly because you had python installed and other issues.

WHAT worked for me was installing Visual Studio 2017 and RUN

npm config set msvs_version 2017

I even had 2017 installed on my machine but it did not work until I run the npm command.

Try running this:

npm install --global --production windows-build-tools

Or manually installing MSVC as detailed in the README on node-gyp: https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp

The .sln file is generated by node-gyp.
