I'm working on installing sage, and I now just need to run the "make" command in the command line, but when I do I get the following:

/usr/bin/env: 'python': No such file or directory

Makefile:16: recipe for target 'all' failed

make: *** [all] Error 127

My python is installed in

usr/bin/python3.6m

usr/bin/python3.6

usr/bin/python2.7

Or at least that's what I find when I run:

find /usr -type f -name 'python*' -perm -a+x

Update: I ran "sudo apt-get install python" and ran "make" and had a huge list of outputs, then ran ./sage, which crashed very quickly.

  • @glennjackman it is in usr/bin/python

  • If you do ls -l /usr/bin/python is it a symlink to python2 or python3?

It seems this requires python2, but not a specific version of it to execute. You need to have the python-minimal package installed, as it is what provides the /usr/bin/python symlink.
