Welcome to the forum @r-g0

From the errors:  
npm ERR! gyp ERR! find Python You need to install the latest version of Python

So I think you need to install python. Did you install the windows build tools as described in the [docs](https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/windows)? I think that may install python as well as other stuff you may need but I am not certain.

Also Node version 16 is not yet supported by node-red. v14 is the most recent supported version. You might have problems with 16.

For the future you can paste logs directly here. See this post for how to do it - [How to share code or flow json](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/how-to-share-code-or-flow-json/506)
