System Information (mise doctor Output):

• Mise Version: 2025.1.0 macos-arm64
• Target: aarch64-apple-darwin
• Rust Version: rustc 1.83.0 (90b35a623 2024-11-26)
• Shell: /opt/homebrew/bin/fish (v3.7.1)

  • Data: ~/.local/share/mise
  • Shims: ~/.local/share/mise/shims
  • State: ~/.local/state/mise

Possible Cause:

• Python 3.11+ incompatibility: Node.js 10.x relies on the deprecated distutils package, which was removed in Python 3.12.
• Required Python version: 2.6 or 2.7, which is outdated and likely unavailable.
