node-gyp: Errors when doing npm install with Roots Sage (Wordpress theme)

I have been reading and mucking about with this for hours. I am getting the following error when trying to install Roots Sage

I am using Node.Js 4.2.1 Python 2.7.10 And have Visual Studio 2015 community edition installed.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated 😃
