I am writing a project in NativeScript and I received the following error the last few days when I tried the commands: ns run ios
or ns doctor
.
Couldn't retrieve installed python packages.
The Python 'six' package not found.
I tried python and pip upgrade and also the command pip install six
.
Nothing of them fixed the problem.
I believe that is not a NativeScript issue, is about the configuration of the python packages in my machine. I mention that I am using a MacBook with M1 chip and it is running the 12.5 OS version.
I will appreciate any suggestions on this situation.
Lastly, I found the solution. It was about the python folder into the path /usr/local/bin/python
You could check it by the following command: where python
In my case this folder is missing, perhaps I deleted it after the upgrade of the python3.
That was a mistake both folders should exist on this path!
If you type: where python
you should receive: /usr/local/bin/python
If you type: where python3
you should receive: /usr/local/bin/python3
In order to fix the error, I installed python again by using the brew install pyenv
this suggestion helps me to install it properly.
In the end, in order to eliminate all errors I installed the Python six package by using the command:
pip install --ignore-installed six
