Check the version of your python with python -V.

If you've already installed both Python 2 and 3, you have to tell npm to use python 2.
Run npm config set python python2.

glslangValidator

glslangValidator is used to check GLSL code in VEDA.
Please Install it by following the steps below.

macOS

If you are uning macOS, glslangValidator can be installed by homebrew.

brew install glslang

The path of glslangValidator can also be specified in the settings of VEDA.
Add the path of glslangValidator (e.g.: /usr/local/bin/glslangValidator) to glslangValidator path property.

Windows or Linux
