How to set up the synfig_python_binary example.

[qroft]

I have just installed the latest stable Synfig version available for my Raspberry Pi400 through the SNAP store because i want to try out the new feature of exporting to Lottie.
When doing so, i encounter the alert that Python 3 is not installed but can be set up through an environment variable.

So i landed at the Synfig docs here
https://synfig.readthedocs.io/en/latest/plugins.html
and thought that it might be nice to mention the steps within the documentation and be more precise on how to set that variable for noobs like me.

If i find it out, i will try to add it myself in here, but just would like to keep this as info in here.

Hi!

Agree.
You need to set SYNFIG_PYTHON_BINARY to the full path to the python3 binary. Something like that:

export SYNFIG_PYTHON_BINARY=/usr/bin/python3

If i find it out, i will try to add it myself in here, but just would like to keep this as info in here.

It would be nice if you add this to the documentation as well.
You can edit it here: https://github.com/synfig/synfig-docs/blob/master/source/plugins.rst

Thanks, i have done so and added a few lines to the docs and i hope that i have done it correctly as the Git-World is still a big unknown land to me. I once also read on how to set system variables under Windows10, but i am not sure if this is necessary for Synfig like with Linux.
