'vendorjs' errored after 23 s

Erros are from child theme, but same goes for the inti-foundation parent theme:

[16:37:31] 'vendorjs' errored after 23 s

@solarianian
Check your version of Gulp
Delete your node_modules and re-rerun npm install (or use RimRaf)

this might help!

This project must use plugins that are incompatible with gulp 4.0.0-alpha.3 which had breaking changes over the previous alpha. Please have your plugins upgrade for compatibility

@monicasolis & @phated Thank you for your help!

Unfortunately, other then make sure that I have the latest version of nodejs for windows, I don't know what to do. I am new to this way of deving.

So, after installing the latest nodejs and running in theme folder npm install and gulp commands, the error is: 'sass' errored after 539 ms.

So, /dist/ from /library/ is not existing.

Where can I find a good guide with what preparations need to be done before running the first npm command?

Right now, my steps are:

1. nodejs command prompt - > cd my project folder > npm install (a lot of errors); then npm build; then gulp (as seen: #6 )

C:\xampp\htdocs\dev\wp-content\themes\inti-kitchen-sink>gulp
[00:01:59] Failed to load external module @babel/register

UPDATE (not solved yet)

after a visit to gulp & npn websites, I manage to update to latest versions for nodejs, npm and gulp.

But, after running npm install in my project folder, some errors occur:

gyp verb check python checking for Python executable "python2" in the PATH
gyp verb which failed Error: not found: python2

gyp verb check python checking for Python executable "python" in the PATH
gyp verb which failed Error: not found: python

npm ERR! Failed at the node-sass@3.13.1 postinstall script.

after running gulp command in project directory:
[09:09:26] The following tasks did not complete: foundationjs, vendorjs, images, copyFonts, copyStaticCss, editorSass
[09:09:26] Did you forget to signal async completion?

Should I install python and python2?

Thank you!
