After running an intensive google search, i found out gyp isnt supported with python 3.x , could u let me know if u used python 2.x or 3.x and if u know a workaround this issue?

I am working on a similar project for my Final year degree project. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

This is built using JavaScript and not python that's why you get errors when trying to build. NPM is a package manager for node.js.

I understand its node js. I had issues with npm since gyp supports python 2. This helped me, i had to downgrade to 2.7. Maybe it can help someone in future :)
