regular python needed for RPM package to install

I'm a DoD contractor trying to install s/w which is a .rpm file. When trying to run the program I get the following message. Failed dependencies:
/usr/bin/python is needed by acas_configure-19.03-1.noarch.

I don't see the regular version of python on RHEL 8.x. When I run python -V i get the command not found, but when I run python2 -V i get Python 2.7.16. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
