Perhaps install https://github.com/nodejs/nan and upgrade to the current node-gyp.

when I npm install nan (or --save)

Pasting in code with three backticks is a much better way to go than pasting images. https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/working-with-advanced-formatting/creating-and-highlighting-code-blocks Smaller, faster, and searchable.

Those mostly look like warnings, not errors. Is nan usable at the end of it all or are there errors? The build process seems quite noisy but it builds on ALL versions of Node.js.

The local Python version is no longer supported but I doubt that is a problem.
