Please note the line "binding.gyp not found (cwd: Z:...\SB-Admin-BS4-Angular-2-master) while trying to load binding.gyp"
Maybe binding.gyp isn't push on github?

install node-gyp globally for that npm install -g node-gyp
Python (v2.7.10 recommended, v3.x.x is not supported) use link https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2710/
npm rebuild node-sass (if required)

may be it will resolve issue if not try following Steps:
1: MSBuild Tool 2013 use https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/confirmation.aspx?id=40760
2: ts-node installed globally npm install -g ts-node
3: Run the Command Prompt with administrator privileges.
4: npm install —msvs_version=2013
5: npm start
