npm install is complaining that it cannot find python in the environment. To confirm that is the case run the following command
python --version
You should get a command not found exception. To resolve install python after which running the above command will tell you the version of python installed. Some versions of python have a slightly different binary name for example python3 so I recommend you install pyenv which can be used to manage multiple versions of python. Follow the instructions in the README to install pyenv and python. Once the previous command returns the python version you can then try 'npm install' again.
