Error in installing line-in package: NodeJS

Question

I am trying to use the line-in package to stream the input audio data as output. While installing the package, I get the error stating node-gyp rebuild command failed.

I am using NodeJS, and I really don't know why node-gyp is trying to access my python.exe file. Can anybody help me to sort this problem out?

node-gyp requires python2.7:

python (v2.7 recommended, v3.x.x is not supported)

There are some windows specific instructions that may help you:
