I am getting the following error when I attempt to install gulp-converter-tjs

using npm install -g gulp-converter-tjs

It looks like I am missing python but the path is correct for python.exe . I can even run python command from my cmd and also enviroment variables are set. Any suggestions?

For those who encounter this problem in future, you can save yourself some time and let npm install all necessary programs by running:

npm install --global --production windows-build-tools

Note: you need to run this command as administrator

I installed the Python 2.7 version and then I installed the visual studio 2017 community edition in order to get the c++ and the .net framework libraries.
