Problem scenario
The security team for your enterprise will not permit Python 2 to be installed. (You do not want to install a new minimal Python package either.) How do you fix the problem of env: ‘python’: No such file or directory
when you run a make command?
Solution
The command "python" (not python3), will work after you run this script. Run this script as sudo (e.g., sudo bash /tmp/scriptbelow.sh):
if [ -f "/usr/bin/python" ]
then
echo "Python has been installed."
else
pysource=$(which python)
ln -s $pysource /usr/bin/python
