Python no such file or directory mac os

Can not use youtube-dl on M1 Mac — env: python: No such file or directory

When I try to run YouTube-dl from the terminal on my M1 MacBook Air, I get the following message:

env: python: No such file or directory.

I have re-installed Python and can use it through the IDLE app.

I have followed suggestions to try:

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python

ln: /usr/bin/python: Operation not permitted

I would appreciate any help.

MacBook Air (2020 or later)

MacOS Monterey Breaks Python, How to Fix it?

After I updated my MacOS to Monterey, every time I changed the directory in the terminal this message below popped up:

env: python: No such file or directory 

But I’ve already installed Python3. I googled out that Monterey removed Python2.7, but it cannot automatically point to Python3. It took me 2 hours to find the solution, here they are:

Step 1: Make Sure Python3 Is Installed

Step 2: Find Out the Brew Info

When installing Python3 with Home-brew, it also creates a libexec folder with unversioned symlinks, which can be found by this command: brew info python . After executing this command, there will be something like the below print out:

python@3.9: stable 3.9.7 Interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language https://www.python.org/ /usr/local/Cellar/python@3.9/3.9.7 (2,882 files, 49.3MB)  Poured from bottle on 2021-09-15 at 22:09:14 From: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/HEAD/Formula/python@3.9.rb License: Python-2.0 ==> Dependencies Build: pkg-config ✔ Required: gdbm ✔, mpdecimal ✔, openssl@1.1 ✔, readline ✔, sqlite ✔, xz ✔ ==> Caveats Python has been installed as /usr/local/bin/python3 Unversioned symlinks `python`, `python-config`, `pip` etc. pointing to `python3`, `python3-config`, `pip3` etc., respectively, have been installed into /usr/local/opt/python@3.9/libexec/bin 

Step 3: Update Your $PATH

Put the directory path in that last line to your .bash_profile or .zshrc , depending on which one of them you’re using. The complete syntax is:

export PATH="/usr/local/opt/python@3.9/libexec/bin:$PATH" 

source ~/.bash_profile # OR  source ~/.zshrc 

Voilà! The env: python: No such file or directory problem is solved! Now type whereis python3 again, the result would be something like this: python3: /usr/bin/python3 /usr/local/share/man/man1/python3.1 .
