although I installed python and can run it from console:
# python
Python 2.7.3 (default, May 9 2014, 12:18:32)
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux2
and set up PATH in ~/.bashrc:
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/Python-2.7.3
export PATH=$PATH:/Python-2.7.3
and done . ~/.bashrc

For anyone encountering this issue on Ubuntu 16.04…
node-gyp can’t use Python 3.5.X which seems to the be the default that ships with 16.04. I read somewhere that 16.04 was supposed to ship with Python2 as well but I can’t find it on my install.
I fixed the above issue by:
apt-get update
apt-get install python2.7
ln -s /usr/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/python
Now when node-gyp goes looking for python it will hit your Python2.7 install and load correctly.

In your bash session where you’re able to just type python and get a valid response, type in which python and note the full path location of the python binary. Take that location and put that into your PYTHONPATH and PATH environment variables, except without the python at the end.
For example, which python gives me:
/usr/local/bin/python
so I would write:
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/usr/local/bin
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
in my ~/.bashrc.

There is a simple and safe way
Place this into ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_aliases file:
alias python=python3
After adding the above in the file, run source ~/.bashrc or source ~/.bash_aliases
This solution worked for my Ubuntu

Install python2.7.
apt install python2

the problem was because of ~/.bashrc was not loaded on ssh login. I put PATH vars to ~/.bash_profile and it’s ok

Sometimes it is not only related to NPM. So, a system-wide solution is required. Then, just create a system-wide symlink for ‘python’ to your current python path.
For example, for my Ubuntu 20 setup (be root):
ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python
Then verify the symlink:
ls -l /usr/bin/python
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Feb 19 13:55 /usr/bin/python -> /usr/bin/python3

I had the same problem. You can solve it like this:
sudo apt install python2
npm config set python "/usr/bin/python2.7"
But if you don’t want to downgrade python3..
npm install -g node-gyp@latest
npm config set python "/usr/bin/python3.8"

I am trying to NPM package but I am facing the following error in my terminal:
Can't find Python executable "python", you can set the PYTHON env variableSo here I am writing all the possible solutions that I have tried to resolve this error.
You need to install windows-build-tools and then Your error will be solved. Just run this command in your terminal.
npm i windows-build-toolsAnd Now, Your error will be solved. Thank You.
Note: Node.js now includes build tools for Windows. You probably no longer need a windows-build-tools tool.
Solution 2: set PATH variable
You just need to Install Python In Your Windows ( If Not Installed ) and then add python to your PATH variable. Using environment variable.
OR
You can set npm config set python path and it will also Solve your error. Just run this command in your terminal.
npm config set python E:Programm FilesPythonpython.exeAnd Now, Your error must be solved.
Solution 3: Just Run this command
Open Your Cmd Using Admin Access And Run the following command.
npm install --global --production windows-build-toolsAnd now, Your error will be solved.

Every program consists of some variables and constant values. As the name suggests, we have environment variables that define the environment for some applications.
Several such variables are available, and we can also define our environment variables.
One such variable is PATH, which contains a list of directories containing all the executable files used to run some commands. Before using Python, we need to install it and add the directory of its executable to the PATH variable.
This ensures that we can run the Python command from the command prompt.
This tutorial will discuss the Can't find Python executable "python", you can set the PYTHON env variable error in Python and how to fix it.
the Error: Can't find Python executable "python", you can set the PYTHON env variable in Python
This error can persist when an application cannot find the location of the Python executable file. We need to ensure that the full path of the python.exe file has been added to the environment variable.
For Windows, we can check this by following the steps discussed below.
First, we must right-click This PC and select the Properties option from the menu. Then we need to go to the Advanced Settings menu and select Environment Variables.
This will take us to the Environment Variable screen, where we need to add the directory of the Python executable.
We need to add the directory to the PATH variable for the User. If the error persists, we can create a new variable named Python and add the directory here.
This should usually remove the discussed error.
Another common situation where this error can be expected is while installing Node.js and NPM on Windows. For such situations, there are further few more fixes that can help.
The first fix is using Microsoft windows-build-tools to install any required tools. We can use the following command in the command prompt.
npm install -g windows-build-tools
However, this will install some versions of Python in a new environment.
We can also configure the path of the Python executable with the npm config command. It can assist in some cases.
Use it as shown below.
npm config set python C:DirPythonPython27python.exe
Hello everyone, today we will take a look at a mix-in problem. The main reason of this situation is deprecated dependencies.
The project that we developed use a node version 14.18.0 and we use a node-sass version 4.14.1 package and this package also deprecated for today.
PS: You can use normal sass package today instead of node-sass.
The error out looks like these
Error: Can't find Python executable "python", you can set the PYTHON env variable.
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode
The python3 was already installed on my pc. But this is not helped at all.
We need to install python 2.7.18
We can use pyenv to work multiple python version. Let’s download it.
1- Install «pyenv»
brew install pyenv
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode
2- Install the «2.7.18» version of python
pyenv install 2.7.18
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode
and set it as a global
pyenv global 2.7.18
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode
3- Add python executable directory to PATH
export PATH="${HOME}/.pyenv/shims:${PATH}"
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode
You can check the PATHs with;
echo $PATH
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode
4- Add python executable directory to the .npmrc
npm config set python $(which python)
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode
You can check the config with
npm config list
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode
or check from .npmrc;
cat .npmrc
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode
After these steps, you can able to work with «python» and the node starts to will work with the «python» alias.
