ERR! stack Error: Command failed: python2 -c import platform;

Question

I lack knowledge of Ruby Rails and Python tools, therefore gave a senior developer permission to "update" my mac settings in order to allow access and collaborate via github for a project called "pawztech-api".

Now everytime I try to install an npm package, (in this instance nodemon), I get the following error...

unknown-3c-15-c2-d5-97-aa:express dejimeji$ sudo npm install -g nodemon

I presume I have the wrong version of Python right?

Anyhow, how can I revert back or restore normal settings so that npm installs the packages without error?

try setting the local pyenv version with

pyenv local 2.7.9
