I am trying to install "firebase" package through npm but it shows some python-related error

Question

I am trying to install the firebase package in one local expo-managed project, But it shows the following error...

Please help, I have tried "expo install firebase" or "npm install firebase" but none works. I am stuck on this for days. My project just won't work without the firebase package.

Either Python is not installed on its path is unset. You should make sure of both of those. — Ajeet Shah, Apr 26 '21 at 14:40
Generally it is preferred if you copy/paste your error messages as text into your post, instead of linking to an image. — knosmos, Apr 26 '21 at 14:44

Seem that you need to add(install) firebase admin SDK (which include python modules) to your project:

Add SDK

$ sudo pip install firebase-admin

and then initialize it with npm:

Add Firebase SDKs and initialize Firebase

Install the Firebase JavaScript SDK:

a. If you don't already have a package.json file, create one by running the following command from the root of your JavaScript project:

npm init

b. Install the firebase npm package and save it to your package.json file by running:

npm install --save firebase

the link refer to several other configuration that you may need to double check about how to create the firebase project and its configurations.
