Solution 1

updated python version to Python 2.7.6

issue fixed.

Solution 2

For those who can't use upgraded python for versioning reasons, try changing cli. Powershell as admin worked when git bash and command prompt both failed.

I'm getting an error while doing node-gyp rebuild on CentOS 6.8:

Try with updating node-gyp, globally installing node-gyp.

I was using iTerm that gave the issue. Switching to terminal fixed it.
