I’m trying to create a docker image for AWX by following the guide mentioned [here][1]. I have all pre-requisites. However when I try to run

make docker-compose-build

I run into the following error:

ansible@Master:~/DevOpsPractice/awx$ sudo make docker-compose-build  
make: python3.9: No such file or directory  
/bin/sh: 1: python3.9: not found

that looks like the problem

is python installed on your system (and seen by root)?

what if you run make docker-compose-build without sudo?
