node-sass / node-gyp problems

Question

I'm working on a project which give me this file, and I can't install the dependencies of the gulpfile.js. This is the error console. I need help please.

I already tried to install node, node-sass, node-gyp, but I always have the same problem, and I tried other solutions that I'd seen in the forum.

Answer 1

Don't use node-sass

node-sass has been deprecated. Instead you will have to use its new version, which is the sass package.

You can uninstall the old and install the new one with this command

npm uninstall node-sass
npm install sass

Answer 2

You can install Additional Tools for Nodejs to fix that in Start Menu > Node.js > Install Additional Tools for Node.js

but as the error says

npm ERR! gyp ERR! stack Error: Command failed: C:\Python39\python.EXE -c import sys; print 
"%s.%s.%s" % sys.version_info[:3];

try reinstalled the python , or you can upgrade to Python 3.10
