Note: I installed something using yarn and after that this happened. I have not used yarn before. I think I messed up something.
Its always showing python errors. Why ?
I uninstalled and installed node.js freshly. But the error is not going . Help.

Answer 1

It means that either you haven't installed Python 3.x on your system, or that Python's installation binary folder isn't in your PATH. Python's installer should be able to add its installation's folder to your PATH environment variable.
If you do have Python installed, and still encounter this error, then do the following steps:
Right click on the start menu, go to System
Click advanced system settings
Click environment variables
Select PATH and click on Edit...
Click New and add Python's installation binary folder to the list.
