It works without Visual Studio, but you'll need to install Windows SDK: Get Windows SDK from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8442.
node-gyp is a cross-platform command-line tool written in Node. js for compiling native addon modules for Node. js. It contains a vendored copy of the gyp-next project that was previously used by the Chromium team, extended to support the development of Node.
Now that you have Python 2.7, you’re going to have to set Node to use it by default. To do that, run this command: npm config set python python2.7 If you followed the last few steps, you should now have everything necessary to get node-gyp working.
You’ll have to run this command: npm config set msvs_version 2015 –global 5. Make sure you have Python 2.7 installed. Next up is to download Python 2.7. This is important–by default, you’ll install the newest version (3.x.x), but only 2.7 is compatible with node-gyp.

This guide is meant to help solve the issues that can arise when installing a package that requires node-gyp. 1. Try running npm install with the --no-optional flag. If you’re lucky, the dependency that requires node-gyp will be optional, and you can skip the entire process required to get it working.
You do not have to install Visual Studio, just install the windows build tools:
npm install --g --production windows-build-tools
This should fix that.

Open your Visual Studio & then in 'search box' search VS 2019 C++ x64/x86 build tools and install then search Desktop development with C++ install it. Hope this helps.

There are 2 aspects to this error. Now in 2022, if you have installed Visual Studio 2022, even after installing Desktop development with C++ or the build tools it still wont work.
Few things you need to do even after installation.
npm config get python should be set to Python 3.x
--> npm config set python C:\Python310\python.exe
npm config get msvs_version should be using 2022
--> npm config set msvs_version 2022 --global
Additionally you can set
npm config set msbuild_path "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\Msbuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe"
your VCINSTALLDIR ENV variable should be set to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC
In some case it still wont work, then you can follow the additional steps, visit the folder of your Node.js exe installation, should be same even for an nvm node version; https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/blob/master/docs/Updating-npm-bundled-node-gyp.md
cd "C:\Program Files\nodejs"
cd node_modules\npm\node_modules\@npmcli\run-script
npm install node-gyp@latest
