The node module 'farmhash' requires node-gyp, which requires python 2.x

Only python 3.x is included in some current LTS distributions (eg. Ubuntu Server 16.04.2 LTS)

Check your environment...

$ python3 -V

...should return the version included in the distribution eg...

Python 3.5.2

However if...

$ python -V

...returns anything other than a version number such as;

The program 'python' can be found in the following packages:

  • python-minimal
  • python3
    Try: sudo apt install

...then...

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install python

Check your environment again...

$ python -V

...should return...

Python 2.7.12

The steps above will avoid the following error during npm install;

$ sudo npm install

...generates the following error if python is not available;
