Reference to 'python' when installing openCARP

Question

When I was installing openCARP from source(I have done this a lot of times), I always ran into a bash error message saying "python: not found", which refers to Python2. I circumvented this problem by installing the python-is-python3 package and forcing the pointer to Python3.

While everything does compile correctly after that, I am wondering if forcing the pointer to Python3 is the intended way to do it, or if I also need to install Python2.
