• Node Process (node -p process.versions):

{
  node: '16.0.0',
  v8: '9.0.257.17-node.10',
  uv: '1.41.0',
  zlib: '1.2.11',

}

• Node Platform (node -p process.platform): linux
• Node architecture (node -p process.arch): x64

Installing node-sass on Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS results in the following error in npm:

I know python isn't bound to anything in Ubuntu 20.04, so I did the following: npm config set python /usr/bin/python2.7 but got the same result.

Things I've tried so far for python2.7 & node-sass 4.11 (using npm config set python /usr/bin/python2.7)

1. npm install node-sass@4.11.0
2. npm install --unsafe-perm node-sass@4.11.0
3. sudo npm install node-sass@4.11.0
4. sudo npm install --unsafe-perm node-sass@4.11.0

This I've tried so far for python3.8 & node-sass 5.0.0 (using npm config set python /usr/bin/python3.8)

1. npm install node-sass@5.0.0
2. npm install --unsafe-perm node-sass@5.0.0
3. sudo npm install node-sass@5.0.0
4. sudo npm --unsafe-perm install node-sass@5.0.0

I'm really grasping at straws here, I have no idea why this isn't working, any help would be appreciated.
