in many of solutions i got try npm install node-gyp or uninstall or install it again but in that i am getting same error.
Also try with this steps:
Install the latest versions of Python (it may not be related😅), and "Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2017", and of course, Node.js and NPM;
As Admin:
$ cd "C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm"
$ npm install node-gyp
$ npm config set msvs_version 2015 --global
Note that I have VS 2017, but configuring it as ver 2017 won't work. Not sure why.
As Admin:
$ npm install -g node-sass
And finally, one last check:
$ node-sass -v
and try with npm install --production windows-build-tools but getting no result by any option.
tried with every solution but none of the working. i have installed python with 2.7.15, vc++ building tools, visual studio 2017 and all required components.
I am finding solution from last 2 weeks please suggest me correct answer
                Please specify which dependencies you are trying to install. If multiple try to isolate the package which fails to install.

                If you run npm install you are installing dependencies based on a package.json part of the project. Please share this package.json with us.

run: npm cache clean --force
delete node_modules  
delete packagelock.json and yarn.lock(if have)   
run: npm install
                Delete the ~/.node-gyp folder and then the ~/.npmrc file.    Reboot your server and rerun npm install in your project folder  and please check the server node version package.json file than what your local environment was running. So check what you are running locally with:

                I faced the same on Win 10 - the problem was again the version of node. I installed a node  version manager for windows : github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows/releases  Then I installed v. 10 (as this was for an Ang7 project, I had v. 12 before that): nvm install 10 nvm use 10.0.0  And this resolved the problem. With the manager you can quickly switch node versions if you're working in multiple repos.

Run npm install --production windows-build-tools might take longer to install, worked for my friend
Reinstalling nodeJs worked for me
You can try downgrading Node.js to an older version, i was using version v14.16.1LTS.
After switching to v10.24.1 it worked.
To change your node version check How to change to an older version of Node.js
Remember to first remove your node_modules folder and package-lock.json or yarn.lock
You can also try switching from yarn to npm or npm to yarn.
                Thank you for this suggestion, which might provide some limited short-term help.  A proper explanation would greatly improve its long-term value by showing why this is a good solution to the problem, and would make it more useful to future readers with other, similar questions.  Please edit your answer to add some explanation, including the assumptions you've made.
