In the end i have tried reinstalling node-gyp and node expat but those dont seem to work. Is there something wrong with the package or am i missing something from my own system variables?

Answer 1

The error itself says something about not finding the python executable, and asking you to set the PYTHON environment variable to locate it.
So, the first question is, do you have python installed? If not, you should install it.
Then, before you run the process again, set the PYTHON environment variable to locate it.
