I'm guessing this is probably my mac or old dependencies but curious if you had some hints. Seems like node-sass might be looking for python or python2 on my system?

5997 error npm error gyp verb `which` failed Error: not found: python2

5997 error npm error gyp ERR! stack Error: Can't find Python executable "python", you can set the PYTHON env variable.

Yeah, I haven't updated the code and its dependencies for years. I would try with node.js 12 or 14 probably. If node-sass needs python, then you can install that, of course.
