From your picture, I can see that you are using node version 13, which is not currently supported. Download version 10 and that should resolve the issue.

Hi rashics that seems like a proxy issue with npm.

Are you behind a corporate proxy? If so, try to explicitly configure the proxy within npm. I have never done this myself, but hopefully, the below can help or be used as a starting point

Once you configure npm with the proxy information, try to install windows build tools again.

Hi Joel Rodrigues,

Thanks for sharing that proxy issue details, but was not able to solve with it, may be unable to setup proxy settings properly. But now gulp serve issue is solved after installing one file("binding.node") manually from the github site and placed in the node module folder under <path>/helloworld-webpart\node_modules\node-sass\vendor\win32-x64-64

Thank you again for your help.

You may fine the below location for that binding node file.
