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.

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.

Right?
FYI we’re pulling the dep that was requiring gyp. Next patch release.
