Root Cause
Some npm plugins need node-gyp to be installed.
However, node-gyp has it's own dependencies
Anyway, a series of components are not installed.
Note : This gadget does not support Python 3.0, so only 2.7 can be installed
Solution Step 1
The first answer found by Stackoverflow [2] :
The administrator executes:
$ npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
Then execute:
$ npm install --global node-gyp
Solution Step 2

May need to be set manually [3]
npm config set python python2.7
npm config set msvs_version 2015
I ’m not sure if this setting will affect the runtime, so I set an environment variable
PYTHON = C:\Users\Zill.windows-build-tools\python27\python.exe
Note that the file name needs to be detailed here
Then solved
