Hi, I am facing issue with installing cap via npm. `C:\Users\Ohm\Desktop\My Stuff\FAU Stuff\MS Thesis\Programming\node_modules\cap>if not defined npm_config_node_gyp (node "C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\bin\node-gyp-bin\....\node_modules\node-gyp\bin\node-gyp.js" rebuild ) else (node "" rebuild ) gyp ERR! configure error gyp ERR! stack Error: Can't find Python executable "C:\Users\Ohm\Anaconda3\python.exe", you can set the PYTHON env variable. gyp ERR! stack at PythonFinder.failNoPython (C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\node_modules\node-gyp\lib\configure.js:483:19) gyp ERR! stack at PythonFinder.

I did set up the PYTHON environment variable separately and as part of PATH variable as well.

This would be better posted to the nodejs/node-gyp issue tracker as this is not specific to this addon. However, as the error states, it didn't find the python executable at the specified path. Typically you do not need to set environment variables and such on Windows, just install Python 2.x normally and re-open any command prompt windows you had open.
