I am trying to do a bundle install on my windows machine and I have tried to include the two following gems:

gem 'therubyracer'
gem 'libv8', '3.3.10.4'

But neither seem to work which leaves me with this error:

    Check out the language dependencies: https://github.com/fractaloop/libv8/graphs/languages

    You’ll need to install Python on your machine. I’d also install the latest version of bundler once that’s done:

    gem install bundler --pre
