Description
Doc's are incorrect and need to be updated: https://sourcefuse.github.io/arc-docs/arc-iac-docs/modules/arc-lambda/

Several errors are encountered while trying to execute the provided instructions. Installation cannot be completed.

• Python is a requirement
• Visual Studio C++ Desktop runtime is required

Steps to Reproduce - Using Visual Studio Code (Windows and WSL Ubuntu)

1. Follow the instructions at: https://sourcefuse.github.io/arc-docs/arc-iac-docs/modules/arc-lambda/
2. Step 2 "run npm i" observe the following error:
   ...
   npm ERR! gyp ERR! find Python **********************************************************
   npm ERR! gyp ERR! find Python You need to install the latest version of Python.
   npm ERR! gyp ERR! find Python Node-gyp should be able to find and use Python. If not,
   npm ERR! gyp ERR! find Python you can try one of the following options:
   npm ERR! gyp ERR! find Python - Use the switch --python="C:\Path\To\python.exe"
   npm ERR! gyp ERR! find Python (accepted by both node-gyp and npm)
   npm ERR! gyp ERR! find Python - Set the environment variable PYTHON
   npm ERR! gyp ERR! find Python - Set the npm configuration variable python:
   npm ERR! gyp ERR! find Python npm config set python "C:\Path\To\python.exe"
   npm ERR! gyp ERR! find Python For more information consult the documentation at:
   npm ERR! gyp ERR! find Python https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#installation
   npm ERR! gyp ERR! find Python **********************************************************
   ...
3. Install latest version of Python...
4. Choose "Custom installation"
5. Leave "Optional Features" default
6. On "Advanced Options" choose:

• "Install for all users"
• "Add Python to env. variables"

7. Click "Install"
8. In a new terminal, run "run npm i" again and observe the following error:
   ...
   npm ERR! Traceback (most recent call last):
   npm ERR! File "C:\Development\SF\arc-lambda\node_modules\node-gyp\gyp\gyp_main.py", line 42, in
   npm ERR! import gyp # noqa: E402
   npm ERR! ^^^^^^^^^^
   npm ERR! File "C:\Development\SF\arc-lambda\node_modules\node-gyp\gyp\pylib\gyp_init_.py", line 9, in
   npm ERR! import gyp.input
   npm ERR! File "C:\Development\SF\arc-lambda\node_modules\node-gyp\gyp\pylib\gyp\input.py", line 19, in
   npm ERR! from distutils.version import StrictVersion
   npm ERR! ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils'
   ...

NOTE: I also received a "Visual Studio C++ Desktop runtime is required" error, but was unable to reproduce even after uninstalling via the VS 2022 installer so I do not have a stack trace from npm.

Expected behavior
The instructions work.

I resolved the issue by installing python through the windows store. The instructions should be updated at https://sourcefuse.github.io/arc-docs/arc-iac-docs/modules/arc-lambda/
