Todolist tutorial question

Hi,

When I try to follow the tutorial of the totolist-App, I get the following message:
Capture1

When I follow the instruction, I get this:

Can anyobody tell me what this means?

Thank you.

Going by the error message, it looks like you need to install Python.

Thanks a lot for your answer. I updated my node.js version and set a cross to download the entire environment, part of which was obviously the required Python.

Now, everything seems to work well. Up to the authentification… Do you know the underlying problem here, by any chance?

Thank you in advance!
