lwc-dev-server node-gyp not found error

[samiljimari]

Describe the bug
I am trying to install the lwc server plugin and whatever I do I always get the same error.
Tried to install node-gyp separately, re-install npm, add node-gyp and npm to user and system path in environment variables, download new JAVA JDE and JRE and re-referencing them in the VS code settings

I'm running the commands from VS Code powershell

To Reproduce
sfdx plugins:install @salesforce/lwc-dev-server

Expected behavior
Exit code: 1
Command: node build.js || nodejs build.js
Arguments:
Directory: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\sfdx\node_modules\fibers
Output:
node-gyp not found! Please ensure node-gyp is in your PATH--
Try running: sudo npm install -g node-gyp
'nodejs' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
spawn node-gyp.cmd ENOENT
