Have you installed python?

[comfortedbasher]

yeah

[mannie-exe]

Yo, @comfortedbasher. I have some possible solutions if you're still stuck:

Since you seem to be on Windows...

• Are you using any *Nix-like environments (Cygwin, MinGW, WSL/Ubuntu if Windows 10 Insider), or just native Windows' terminals like cmd.exe or PowerShell?
• What's the output of python --version in your terminal?

If the output of python --version is invalid, you most likely disabled the Add python.exe to PATH option during Python's setup:

You can run for %a in ("%path:;=";"%") do @echo %~a | findstr /l /c:"Python" just to make sure there are no Python-related entries in your PATH. Here are my outputs for the above commands for reference:

$ python --version
Python 2.7.12

$ for %a in ("%path:;=";"%") do @echo %~a | findstr /l /c:"Python"
C:\Development\Python27
C:\Development\Python27\Scripts

Possible Fixes

You can either add the Python root and Scripts directory to your environment via PATH or PYTHON or just re-install Python with the correct options enabled.

You might also encounter libprotobuf problems afterwards, seeing you are on Windows. I've compiled a 64-bit version of it (attached below).
You need to extract it and SET LIBPROTOBUF=C:\Users\myname\myfolder\extractedlibprotobuf\ before npm install.
protobuf-3.0.0-beta-4-win64.zip

E:\Go\Enhanced-Backend-master>SET LIBPROTOBUF=C:\libprotobuf

[jozsi]

@nikes - unfortunately, I do not understand the error message there. Are you on a 32bit or 64bit windows?

[nikes]

64bit

[AVVS]

install virtual machine with ubuntu via virtualbox, mount directory as volume and develop like any other developer on *nix machines. windows sucks balls for development.

Full list of shit that you need to install is:

1. visual studio
2. google protobuf
3. node-gyp
4. python
5. rewrite all env variables from unix style to windows style or use cygwin
