I recently rebuilt the laptop partition so there's not much on it yet.\r\n\r\nI installed Node.js 64-bit from the Node.js website, opened a Node command prompt and typed `npm install -g dat`. It took off but the install crashed looking for a Python interpreter in the PATH.\r\n\r\n```\r\n> rabin@1.5.0 install C:\\Users\\znmeb\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\node_modules\\dat\\node_modules\\rabin\r\n> prebuild --install\r\n\r\nprebuild WARN install No prebuilt binaries found (target=v6.9.1 arch=x64 platform=win32)\r\nprebuild ERR! configure error\r\nprebuild ERR! stack Error: Can't find Python executable \"python\", you can set the PYTHON env variable.\r\nprebuild ERR! stack     at failNoPython (C:\\Users\\znmeb\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\node_modules\\dat\\node_modules\\node-gyp\\lib\\configure.js:449:14)\r\nprebuild ERR! stack     at C:\\Users\\znmeb\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\node_modules\\dat\\node_modules\\node-gyp\\lib\\configure.js:404:11\r\nprebuild ERR! stack     at C:\\Users\\znmeb\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\node_modules\\dat\\node_modules\\graceful-fs\\polyfills.js:284:29\r\nprebuild ERR! stack     at FSReqWrap.oncomplete (fs.js:123:15)\r\nprebuild ERR! not ok\r\nprebuild ERR! build Error: Can't find Python executable \"python\", you can set the PYTHON env variable.\r\nprebuild ERR! build     at failNoPython (C:\\Users\\znmeb\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\node_modules\\dat\\node_modules\\node-gyp\\lib\\configure.js:449:14)\r\nprebuild ERR! build     at C:\\Users\\znmeb\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\node_modules\\dat\\node_modules\\node-gyp\\lib\\configure.js:404:11\r\nprebuild ERR! build     at C:\\Users\\znmeb\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\node_modules\\dat\\node_modules\\graceful-fs\\polyfills.js:284:29\r\nprebuild ERR! build     at FSReqWrap.oncomplete (fs.js:123:15)\r\nC:\\Users\\znmeb\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\r\n`-- (empty)\r\n```\r\n\r\nI plan to install Miniconda 3 (Python 3) on this laptop soon, so all I need is a note in the documentation that Python 3 will work. If dat requires Python 2, I'll have to do some PATH hacking. ;-)"}}
