Step 1 - curl --silent --location https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_18.x | sudo bash -

I don't think you need Python 3.

I am sure you can install NodeJS 18 on Centos7.
Regarding of the Python need. Yes you will need python installed, NodeJS use some python code. Python is required for building node from source
Starting v18, Node.js no longer supports centos 7 and a few other Linux distros due to glibc version incompatibility. See https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/43246.
