simply installing using NPM global install and having python and nodejs upto date does not work.

This was designed for *nix systems, and probably won't work on Windows without a bunch of effort. I can pretty confidently say that I'll never run Windows, and neither will @shobrook, so this isn't on our to-do list. If you want to write Windows support, that'd definitely be appreciated. However, this issue won't be addressed by us.

Just so you know the same error happens on Linux, Ubuntu 16.

root@bit:~# node --version
v11.13.0
root@bit:~# python --version
Python 2.7.12
root@bit:~# python3.7 --version
Python 3.7.3
