 `ddev poweroff` is a great way to get back to the beginning and save resources.

Expected Behavior

I expect
ddev npm install
to do a clean install.

Actual Behavior

gyp verb check python checking for Python executable "python2" in the PATH gyp verb whichfailed Error: not found: python2 ... gyp verb check python checking for Python executable "python" in the PATH gyp verbwhichsucceeded python /usr/bin/python

Steps To Reproduce

No response

Anything else?

Tried with versions 18.13.0 (which our FE devs use) and 14.8.0 (which our BE devs use) of node.
From inside project, python2, python3 and python commands all run python, 2.7.18, 3.10.12 and 3.10.12, respectively.

[rfay]

Hi @JAyenGreen - Python2 has long been obsolete and removed from Debian and Ubuntu. You'll want to figure out how to use npm packages that don't require it.

If you actually need it, you can use

webimage_extra_packages: [python2]

If you want the python command to be python2, you can also do

webimage_extra_packages: [python-is-python2]

in DDEV v1.22.7.

However, that won't be possible in upcoming v1.23.0, which is based on Debian 12 Bookworm, where they have dropped even this. The internet does have lots of suggestions for you but it's not something you're going to like.

[JAyenGreen]

Thanks, @rfay. Ugh. Of course...it's Monday.

[rfay]

Sounds like you're on the path now, closing, happy to continue the conversation here or elsewhere.

[rfay]

BTW, not sure what npm ddev install is. You may have meant ddev npm install I hope.

[JAyenGreen]

Yup, as you typed it!
