This is an issue introduced in NPM 10.4.0 - I have reported it here: npm/cli#7355

As a workaround:

npm i -g npm@~10.3
npm i -g nativescript

You can set this in your ~/.zshrc to resolve:

export npm_config_python=/opt/homebrew/bin/python3.11

Just be sure to open new terminal tab, or source ~/.zshrc after adding.

This is an issue introduced in NPM 10.4.0 - I have reported it here: npm/cli#7355

As a workaround:

npm i -g npm@~10.3
npm i -g nativescript

Could this workaround maybe be added to the setup documentation? Would have saved me a couple of days of googling and reinstalling things 😂

@jono-hayward it appears fixed on cli next with npm 10.8.

For example, this is what we see when installing next - if you get a chance to confirm from your end would be great.

% npm -v
10.8.0

% npm i -g nativescript@next

You can npm i -g npm and then just npm i -g nativescript@next - if that's clear for you we'll include in a patch.
