The whole stack trace isn't visible in your post, but this is likely caused by having the wrong or no version of Python. This is an issue with node-gyp, not with aura-sdk. You'll have to do the following to fix it:

1. Download Python 2 and install it wherever
2. Add its filepath to your path EV (google if you don't know how),
3. Rename python.exe in the new install to something like python2.exe (only necessary if you have Python 3 already but I'd recommend doing it anyway)
4. Then in any terminal do npm config set python python2 to tell npm which python exe to use and your issue should be fixed.

It should be noted that Python 2 is no longer getting updates as of the end of 2019, and node-gyp has been outdated for a while now since it still requires Python 2 to function properly, so it would be best to avoid these when possible.

If you have Python 3 installed already I'd recommend renaming its exe as well so that you can call either one without things getting confusing.
