I tried to create a new redwood-app - 1st one since upgrading from Catalina to Monterey (maybe this wouldn’t be an issue if I hadn’t skipped Big Sur…)

Boom !! It would not work, even tried not specifying --typescript

Lots of errors pointing to things that aren’t relevant - finding the first error in that mess –

gyp ERR! stack Error: Can’t find Python executable “python”, you can set the PYTHON env variable.

I don’t this this should be in the Tutorial, but I also don’t want anyone to be turned away for any reason

should the installer check for python?

To Infinity ! and Beyond !!

Both upgrading to macOS Catalina and running a Software Update in Catalina may cause normal node-gyp installations to fail.

node-gyp/macOS_Catalina.md

Gyp is just the worst…

Yeppers, kinda normal process. Just google how to fix and/or use the guide linked above.

We think we can mitigate this. Will patch if we can.

Oh for 'ff’s sake… Apple stops bundling Python with macOS Monterey 12.3

types against the wind for a few hours...
sigh...
