Since it looks like node-gyp related, I Installed python 2.7 and then it worked.

Not sure if this is an expected behavior, If so maybe we could write python as one of the Prerequisites in readme.md

Thanks for the info. I'll have a look into all the dependencies in the near future, since several things are currently way behind it's upstream versions and the compiler stuff is dated, too. Even the templates are broken since the bootstrap 3 update.

In general I'd prefer if we can skip another prerequisite, but i must have a look at grunt/gulp first. I am doing Meteor exclusively for several months now, so I think i didn't read some of the latest changes. :(
