node-pre-gyp err while trying to npm install

Question

While trying to install sqlite I'm getting an error running with:

• npm v6.4.1
• node v8.11.4
• Windows 10

I tried to clean cache, reinstall nodejs/npm and some random things I found in other questions here(like setting msvs version, setting python config var etc.)

Error log:

$ npm install sqlite --save

'node-pre-gyp' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Use the following command and try again:
