I'm getting the error "Error: Can't find Python executable "python", you can set the PYTHON env variable"

when running the npm install command on a React project in Visual Studio Code on Macbook M1 .

Python is installed with brew but it still gives the error:

brew install python

Warning: [email protected] 3.11.2_1 is already installed and up-to-date. To reinstall 3.11.2_1, run: brew reinstall [email protected]

But I can`t use python version command

▶ python --version

zsh: command not found: python

Errors

gyp verb check python checking for Python executable "python2" in the PATH gyp verb which failed Error: not found: python2
