Installing npm install --save-dev web3@1.0.0-beta.26 error?

Question

I am trying to install web3.js library and getting the below issue.

Node.js 8.x
Windows 7.

I am able to find python installation under this folder.

C:\Users\Mabel.windows-build-tools\python27

C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\node_modules\npm-lifecycle\node-gyp-bin \....\node_modules\node-gyp\bin\node-gyp.js" rebuild ) else (node "C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\node_modules\node-gyp\bin\node-gyp.js" rebuild )

gyp ERR! configure error gyp ERR! stack Error: Can't find Python executable "python\path\to\executable", you can set the PYTHON env variable. gyp ERR! stack at PythonFinder.failNoPython (C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_mo dules\npm\node_modules\node-gyp\lib\configure.js:483:19)

The fact that *you* can find it, doesn't mean npm can. You need to tell it where it is. This is also mentioned in the error message itself: _"Error: Can't find Python executable "python\path\to\executable", **you can set the PYTHON env variable** "_ — GolezTrol, Jul 21 '18 at 08:26

npm config set python C:\Python27\python.exe

The above command solved the issue.
