I'm trying to install johnny-five on windows7 64 bit. I have an earlier version of Node (v.13.14.0-64) installed and I use Visual Studio Code as my code editor.

Regarding the first part of the error, prebuild-install WARN install No prebuilt binaries found (target=13.14.0 runtime=node arch=x64 libc= platform=win32). I simply don't know what this means even after reading forums about this error.

I have Python installed and the error says it can't find it. I went to this website trying to fix the error but still wasn't able to find a solution.

> @serialport/bindings@8.0.8 install C:\Users\HP\Documents\GitHub\NODE\node_modules\@serialport\bindings
> prebuild-install --tag-prefix @serialport/bindings@ || node-gyp rebuild

  • Can you run python from the windows console? Could be you just have to add its location to the PATH variable. – Yaroslav Kornachevskyi Oct 29 '21 at 05:34
  • Thanks for your reply I edited the Path variable in sysdm.cpl and directed it to Python. I found the file location by typing: `>>>import sys >>> print(sys.executable)` on the Python cmd line. Then I tried reinstalling johnny-five using the command: `npm install johnny-five` However the error message is the same as my original post. I attempted running python from Terminal with the command: `python` and it gives me this error: `‘python’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.` What would you suggest next? – user17247218 Nov 01 '21 at 03:44
  • And what about sys variables in js? – Yaroslav Kornachevskyi Nov 01 '21 at 04:32
  • The only thing I knew about sys variables is PATH for Python. I found env config instructions on Medium but they are too advanced for me. Do you have beginner instructions on setting up my environment? Also, there are some threads on Github with similar errors as the one on the original post. There Is an issue with the serial port that I don’t completely understand. There could be a conflict between the version of serial-port and the operating system (Windows 7). I run Windows 7, so I'm considering upgrading to Windows 10 if it will help. What would you recommend at this point? – user17247218 Nov 05 '21 at 23:30
  • First you should check your env in js, just like in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4870328/read-environment-variables-in-node-js. – Yaroslav Kornachevskyi Nov 06 '21 at 06:07
  • @YaroslavKornachevskyi The link you sent me helped me out a lot! Thanks! I had to post a new thread here because a moderator directed me to create a new one: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70105560/how-to-fix-firmware-error-running-js-file – user17247218 Nov 25 '21 at 06:30
