Error: Can't find Python executable "D:\Python", you can set the PYTHON env variable. at PythonFinder.failNoPython (C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\node_modules\node-gyp\lib\configure.js:483:19)
I do have python installed (2.7.14) in D:\Python, and I have setup the environment variables 
I also tried SET PYTHON=D:\Python.
python command from command line works fine.
python.exe is in D:\Python
What am I doing wrong ?

The Python executable could be in a directory in C:\Python\ or in your AppData\ folder, for instance. If the executable were in AppData\ , then the path would typically look something like this: C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python.
It turns out that node-gyp does not take variables from windows environment, and you have to set them like this:
npm config set python D:\python
I was installing sharp, not node-gyp, that's why I did't pay attention to their documentation that has this command:
npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
which will install all for you and set the paths. I used this command and was finally able to successfully run npm install.
Note: you need to run this command as administrator
