The error is this:

gyp ERR! stack Error: Can't find Python executable "python", you can set the PYTHON env variable.

Set the PYTHON environment variable or pass --python \path\to\python.exe to npm or node-gyp. Note that it should be python 2.7, not python 3.x.

[rnchamberlain]

Or have python 2.7 on your Windows path.

Note also that nodereport@1.0.8 is obsolete, the project was renamed recently with a hyphen in the name, 'node-report'. The latest version is 2.1.1, see https://www.npmjs.org/package/node-report.

@ajayit1994 did you get past this problem?

There are guidelines for the pre-reqs when installing native npm modules on Windows. See the node-gyp installation "on Windows" section here:
https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp
or the "Compiling native Addon modules" section here:
https://github.com/Microsoft/nodejs-guidelines/blob/master/windows-environment.md

Closing as above, thanks
