My attempt to install rescript on a mac mini (M1) failed because
npm ERR! env: python: No such file or directory
Apple has removed support for python2. Could the script be changed to use python3 instead?
The script producing the error is:
npm ERR! Error: Command failed: ./configure.py --bootstrap
npm ERR! at checkExecSyncError (node:child_process:828:11)

Does this refer to the ninja script?
Symbolically linking to system python3 does not work on mac. However I have some version of python3 installed through macports and symbolically linking to it (outside of /usr/bin) does work. So this is no longer the problem. However build still failed to compile the ocaml compiler with
npm ERR! make[3]: *** No rule to make target `none.o', needed by `libasmrun.a'. Stop.
I’m also on an M1 Mac, and I also don’t have python installed:
python -v
zsh: command not found: python
But I have no issue installing ReScript via NPM (have tried it right now to make sure):
mkdir tmp
cd tmp
npm init
npm install rescript
npx rescript -v
> 9.1.4
Let me know if I can help investigate.
