I'm not sure we want PlayOnMac to be dependant on NodeJS as it is written in Python ; moreover, the default netcat works properly with PoM.

I still have no idea why PoM was looking for node, because I had python installed. But

The problem I had was that PoM was misreporting netcat as missing, when it was upset with node. Printing those

env: node: No such file or directory

messages. After re-installing node, PoM found netcat just fine. This fixes the issue on my machine, at least.

Yes, but it enforce every PoM users to have nodejs installed, which should not because PoM is not written in node.
We'd better find a way to understand why POM is not happy with your own netcat

The reporter most likely used https://www.npmjs.com/package/nc, https://github.com/roccomuso/nc or similar, which seems to install by default as /usr/local/bin/nc - just have a look with a text editor what your /usr/local/bin/nc contains.
