How do you determine whether python is installed?

I'm getting this error on OSX: > Please make sure Python3 is installed on your computer.

My python3 installation works fine and is located at: /usr/local/bin/python3

It checks whether `python3 -V` ends successfully in a Node JS child process. Is it possible that `python3` is not available in your environment? Or perhaps `python3` isn't linked properly? If you use brew, `brew link python3` could be helpful.
