node-gyp troubles with installation - node-gyp

I'm trying to install webworker-threads, a node addon that requires gyp. I followed the gyp instructions for setup, so far I'm still getting an error when trying to "rebuild":
C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\webworker-threads>node "C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\bin\node-gyp-bin\....\node_modules\node-gyp\bin\node-gyp.js" rebuild

I'm on a Windows 7 32 bit system.
Sooo to spare some time here's my personal checklist:
Paths: node is in both user and system path. npm is in user path. Python path is set too.
Python: 2.7.3 installed at C:\Python27
VisualStudio C++ 2010 AND 2012 Express installed
node version v0.10.8
ran everything with administrator privileges
Commands executed: npm install -g node-gyp
npm install webworker-threads
Then the error appears.
Do you guys by any chance notice something I'm doing wrong?
Thanks a lot in advance for your guidance!

try npm install –msvs_version=2012. This command will ask NPM to use visual studio 2012 to build.
http://www.kevgriffin.com/specifying-visual-studio-version-in-npm-installs/

After spending a while to get this to work (for me accepted answer didn't work, for me it's just half solution) i did following:
Sadly, you must have visual studio (i installed express edition 2013 for DESKTOP)
Installed python 2.7.3 (you don't have to set any environment variables)
Run cmd as administrator and go to you project root (where is you package.json file)
First run: npm config set python C:\Python27\python.exe
Then: npm install -msvs_version=2013
The trick is in command npm config set python ...path_to_python_exe... which will be provided by npm to dependency which needs python i guess.

Got Windows 7 64 bit.
Did all the above but I still got the error which was mentioned.
What worked for me was:
Uninstall Microsoft .NET Frameworks (I got more than one version)
Open regedit and navigating to:
hkey_local_machine/software/Microsoft/MSBuild
Remove all .net versions (I got there 2 and 3.5 sub directories)
If You have OS 64 Bit repeat steps 2 & 3 for %WinDir%\SysWOW64\regedit.exe
Reinstall Microsoft .NET Framework
Hope it will spare some time for you.

gyp ERR! while rebuilding with electron-rebuild

I have been stuck with this error since the past 2 days. Any help will be appreciated. I am trying to rebuild the app to use serialport npm package.

Gatsby Develop : Something went wrong installing the "sharp" module

I just did a git clone off a starter template on Gatsby-- bumped into this error when I ran 'gatsby develop'. I've deleted the node module, as well as the sharp module in node module. To no avail.
Do let me know what's going on at this point! :-)

Delete the node_module folder first and then try out the below-given methods! This works for me
Update the version of the sharp package manually in the package.json file and then try to run the command npm i sharp
or first, install sharp package and then run the command npm install
In Windows, you may need extra dependencies to make the sharp module work. Try running:
npm install --global windows-build-tools --vs2015
Upon installing this package, it downloads and installs Visual C++ Build Tools 2015, provided free of charge by Microsoft. These tools are required to compile popular native modules. It will also install Python 2.7, configuring your machine, and npm appropriately.
Check Gatsby on Windows docs for further information.
On my Windows machine another possible solution is to update all the related gatsby plugins (for images).
I did it with yarn, of course, as suggested delete the node modules beforehand.
yarn upgrade-interactive --latest
Pick the onces you need, hope that solves the errors.
The problem could be anything but what worked for me was downgrading my nodejs version, specifically to 14.15.0 using nvm.
steps to follow :
Downgrade nodejs version.
Delete any package-lock.json or yarn-lock.json from the root folder.
Delete node_modules folder.
Delete .cache folder.
Run npm install or yarn install.
Hopefully, it will fix the issue, if it doesn't you can refer to the issues page of the library and more specifically on this issue

However have zero idea how to resolve it.
Been searching the web and stackoverflow - messing around with uninstalling Xcode reinstalling exode looking hombrew... etc but as of yet absolutely no joy.
I'm Python dev by trade so node is most certainly not my expertise. If someone could shed some light on how to resolve this issue that would be wonderful. I can't believe I'm the only one having it.
Thanks
Wow after reading many posts and many issues on GitHub... the solution in my case wasn't making sure I had Xcode installed, and the corresponding command line tools installed and making sure I'd accepted the Apple Licence agreement. It was simply a question of updating the version of node that I was using. In my case I was using version 6.x this was the version that came pre-installed on my brand new mac. Annoying. Visit https://nodejs.org/en/ to upgrade your node version. At the time of writing this the versions I upgraded to was 12.16.1 - in the event that's helpful to a future reader of this question 'n answer session :)
Really feel the error message could have been way more helpful here, but hey that's how things are some times.

Thanks for your helps!
I am using windows 10 64 bit. I almost ripped my head of falling install atom-beautify. I was receiving "npm ERR! zlib: unexpected end of file". I tried everything. At last I reinstalled atom then deleted the .apm file and finally was able to install atom-beautify package. Hope this information help someone.
On Linux/Mac, the issue is solved by taking the following steps:
Open terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T)
cd /home/your_username/.atom/.apm/marko
ln -s 4.13.4 4.13.3
apm install atom-beautify
On Windows, you can use Git Bash and taking the above steps.
Or, on Windows taking the following steps:
Open cmd/powershell
cd C:\Users\your_username\.atom\.apm\marko
mklink /J 4.13.3 4.13.4
apm install atom-beautify
After deleting the .apm folder I was able to install the atom-beautify package.
Yes this Works!
For MAC/LINUX:
Open terminal
cd /home/your_username/.atom/.apm/marko
ln -s 4.13.4 4.13.3
apm install atom-beautify
For WINDOWS :
Open cmd/powershell
cd C:\Users\your_username\.atom\.apm\marko
mklink /J 4.13.3 4.13.4
apm install atom-beautify
Turning off the Windows firewall and antivirus worked for me.

Do I need to install python in order to work with karma or is something else wrong? Thanks in advance for any help!
You need to install the command line interface so that karma will be recognised:
npm install -g karma-cli
Karma Installaltion Guide
The node-gyp error is because python isn't installed. To avoid that error follow the following steps:
Install python (v2.7.10 recommended, v3.x.x is not supported): http://www.python.org/getit/windows/
Make sure that you have a PYTHON environment variable, and it is set to drive:\path\to\python.exe not to a folder

Windows XP/Vista/7:
- Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2013 (Express version works well)
- If the install fails, try uninstalling any C++ 2010 x64&x86
Redistributable that you have installed first
- If you get errors that the 64-bit compilers are not installed you may
also need the compiler update for the Windows SDK 7.1
Windows 7/8:
- Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2013 for Windows Desktop (Express version
works well)
Windows 10:
- Install Visual Studio Community 2015 Edition. (Custom Install, Select
Visual C++ during the installation)
- Set the environment variable GYP_MSVS_VERSION=2015
- Run the command prompt as Administrator
If the above steps have not worked or you are unsure please visit http://www.serverpals.com/blog/building-using-node-gyp-with-visual-studio-express-2015-on-windows-10-pro-x64 for a full walkthrough
All Windows Versions
- For 64-bit builds of node and native modules you will also need the
Windows 7 64-bit SDK
You may need to run one of the following commands if your build complains about WindowsSDKDir not being set, and you are sure you have already installed the SDK:
call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\bin\Setenv.cmd" /Release /x86
call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\bin\Setenv.cmd" /Release /x64

Reference from https://stackoverflow.com/a/21366601/368997.
Karma requies node-gyp, and node-gyp has its own dependence (from the github).
Especially Windows, you need python and make sure that you have a PYTHON environment variable.
