"exec: "python": executable file not found in $PATH

I am running Arduion IDE 1.8.12 on Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS.

I am trying to compile Example code for ESP32 Camera module (standard camera module with default example on Arduino IDE) and I got this error (which I think is not Arduino issue, but Python):

"exec: "python": executable file not found in $PATH
Error compiling for board ESP32 Wrover Module"

Same message with all ESP32.

I also did sudo apt install python. Got back this:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree 
Reading state information... Done
python is already the newest version (2.7.15~rc1-1).
0 modernizētas, 0 instalētas no jauna, 0 tiks noņemtas un 6 netiks modernizētas.

When I type Python in Terminal, got this back:

Python 2.7.17 (default, Nov 7 2019, 10:07:09)
[GCC 7.4.0] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Thank you for help!

BR, Valters

How to Tag

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.

complete the sentence: my question is about...
use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
favor using existing popular tags
read the descriptions that appear below the tag

If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:

combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. python-3.x), up to a maximum of 35 characters
creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
