Description
```shell
> oniguruma@7.2.0 install ....\node_modules\oniguruma
> node-gyp rebuild
```
Fails with
```shell
gyp ERR! configure error
gyp ERR! stack Error: Can't find Python executable "python", you can set the PYTHON env variable.
```
Looking at `node-gyp` setup steps.... It would be great to have this mentioned in readme how to install on Windows.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the README's installation instructions and compare them with the node-gyp setup steps referenced in the issue. Document the Windows prerequisite for the Python executable so the oniguruma install can proceed, and confirm the README clearly explains the required setup.
