After fetching Chromium's source code, I executed the following command

$ gn gen out/Default

This results in an execution error:

/c/src/depot_tools/gn: line 8: exec: python3: not found

What's the problem and how to solve this error?

    It's quite clear, `gn` is unable to find `Python3` which is bundled with `depot_tools`. Looks like you have not followed all the instructions properly. You should follow the instructions specified at `Install depot_tools` – Asesh Aug 13 '21 at 02:39
  • Also looks like you are using `git bash` to do so. Better open `Visual Studio Command Prompt` and then run this command `set DEPOT_TOOLS_WIN_TOOLCHAIN=0` and execute that command again – Asesh Aug 13 '21 at 02:45

  • $ gn gen out/Default /c/src/depot_tools/gn: line 8: exec: python3: not found – Taerina Kim Aug 13 '21 at 06:07
  • Use this command from command prompt window: `gn clean out\Default` then try `gn gen out\Default` again. – Asesh Aug 13 '21 at 06:26
