I am trying to install the node-red node-arduino through the Manage Palette install feature as outlined in the node-red website instructions. Node-red is installed on my Windows 10 PC and I have an Arduino connected through a USB COM port. The Arduino has Standard Firmata loaded to the board. When I try to install the arduino-node I get a lengthy error message, that seems to be unsuccessfully searching for Python, although nothing in the requirements for the node-arduino mentions Python. Here is the error message:
prebuild-install WARN install No prebuilt binaries found (target=14.16.1 runtime=node arch=x64 libc= platform=win32)

Note: above is the error message, not code, but had to mark it as such to get post accepted
I am new to Node-Red, so any assistance is greatly appreciated.
