The error means you don't have python 2 installed on the WSL (the WSL can't use python if you installed it on Windows), try to run "apt update" and then "apt install python2" it should solve your problem

I ran "apt install python2" it said "E: Unable to locate package python2", however when I ran "apt install python" that worked. Then I was able to run katoolin.

THANK YOU!!!
