hey @Torrriate do you have Python installed? From the looks of the error message it looks like it cannot find Python:

gyp ERR! stack Error: Can't find Python executable "python", you can set the PYT
HON env variable.
gyp ERR! stack at failNoPython (C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\nod
e_modules\node-gyp\lib\configure.js:114:14)

Answer 2 · 2015-12-03T15:39:09.000Z

Will try to install. Though it's not mentioned in the dependencies on the npm-site. Will report on the result. Thx so far.

Answer 3 · 2015-12-03T15:44:06.000Z

First report:
Installed latest python build 3.5.
Response:
...
gyp ERR! configure error
gyp ERR! stack Error: Python executable "C:\Program Files\Python\Python3.5\python.exe" is v3.5.0, which is not supported by gyp.
gyp ERR! stack You can pass the --python switch to point to Python >= v2.5.0 & < 3.0.0.
...

Ok. Getting >= v2.5.0 & < 3.0.0. then and will re-try and re-report.

Second report:
Python 2.7.10 seemed to work

However,

Does it mean the nodelua installer requires my lua.h to found be in a >specific< path?

Answer 5 · 2015-12-03T16:11:36.000Z

Hmm, not entirely sure, this time it is saying sed is not found. Don't think I ever tried to install nodelua on a windows machine, or ever heard of anyone who had. And unfortunately I do not have one available to try and test this on.

Answer 6 · 2015-12-03T16:40:54.000Z

I see. Thx for the replies so far.

Answer 7 · 2016-05-08T10:23:30.000Z

Getting the same error on my Windows 10 machine.

Answer 8 · 2022-08-20T02:53:45.000Z

Use choco install sed, with "choco" coming from Chocolatey.
This should solve the problem.
