"python": executable file not found in $PATH

I'm trying to compile the sample program on OSX from the main page for the FireBeetle ESP32 and I get the following error using the Arduino IDE:

 

exec: "python": executable file not found in $PATH
Error compiling for board FireBeetle-ESP32.

 

I've followed the setup as indicated on the main page so my environment should be setup. I can select the board from tools>Board>ESP32 Arduino>FireBeetle-ESP32 but can't compile! Any ideas?

Yes, I have python installed I use it for other projects. Why does python have anything to do with the FireBeetle ESP32? I'm not using micropython with it.

Hello,

 

Have you installed Python? If not, you can try to install Python first and remember to select the box that says “add Python to path”, this will add Python to the system path and ensure Python functions properly.
