node-sass@4.5.3 install C:UsersGiannisAppDataRoaming pm ode_modules ode-sass node scripts/install.js

'node' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE npm ERR! errno 1 npm ERR! node-sass@4.5.3 install: node scripts/install.js npm ERR! Exit status 1 npm ERR! npm ERR! Failed at the node-sass@4.5.3 install script. npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in: npm ERR! C:UsersGiannisAppDataRoaming pm-cache_logs2017-10-26T11_57_10_751Z-debug.log

node-sass requires node-gyp https://github.com/sass/node-sass#install

node-gyp requires windows-build-tools https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#on-windows

Install all the required tools and configurations using Microsoft's windows-build-tools using npm install --global --production windows-build-tools from an elevated PowerShell or CMD.exe (run as Administrator).
