Hello Nabil,
Sorry about the confusing error message, team is working on improving this error message.
As for now, please try to install and provide the path to python3.9.13 in "ROS Toolbox preferences".
Hope this helps,
Thanks,
Josh

Oh I see.
If you run
$ which python3
or
$ which python3.9
on your linux terminal, are you able to see an output? If yes, you can choose that file in the ROS Toolbox Preferences.
