Perhaps you’re on macOS w/o python utility. What’s your OS version?

LyX 2.3.6.2 expects a working python installation which was gone since macOS 12.3.1. Newer versions of LyX will give a proper hint.

You may install python3 from here: https://www.python.org/downloads/macos/

I’ve sort of tolerated it because I mostly collaborate now rather than writing myself — getting old and rusty. For collaborations I use Overleaf though I still prefer LyX.
