strapi not installing with yarn create strapi-app my-project --quickstart

[massimovassalli]

Bug report

Describe the bug

Hi, I cannot install strapi at all, either using yarn or npx
I get errors installing dependencies but I don't know how to address this. It seems to me at some point (sqlite3) it executes a Python2 script, while my systems runs on Python3, but I've no idea (I'm new to th eecosystem as well)

Steps to reproduce the behavior

execute
yarn create strapi-app my-project --quickstart
at the CLI

Screenshots

See errors below

System

• NPM version: 6.14.10
• Strapi version: n/a
• Database: n/a
• Operating system: Windows 10

Additional context

Creating a quickstart project.

try clean install

[derrickmehaffy]

When you installed Node.js did you also install the build tools?

On Windows when you install Node you will get a step like this:

Which after install Node will bring up a command prompt window like this to install those tools:

You can also find this script in your start menu if you forgot to check the box:

When the script is finished you will see it installed 8 packages:

Or you can visit: https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#on-windows
OR
You can use something like this: https://www.npmjs.com/package/windows-build-tools

[derrickmehaffy]

Looks like there may be an issue with SQLite 5.0.1 on Windows, pending confirmation: TryGhost/node-sqlite3#1424

[derrickmehaffy]

I am unable to reproduce on my own machine:

OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
Version 10.0.19042 Build 19042

Users having this issue, can you please navigate to your new project and modify the package.json to set the sqlite3 package from ^5.0.0 to just 5.0.0
