What command did you run?

Ngoc_Hoa_Nguyen · April 8, 2021, 3:40am

hello, I have run “bench init frappe-bench” in Installation document

And which platform are you installing this on

Ngoc_Hoa_Nguyen · April 8, 2021, 6:02am

I know it doesn’t support on Windows. I’ve tried it on WSL2 on Windows

The issue most probably is that bash is not being used to run the installer script .
Two things you could do.

Use a vm instead of wssl2
Change the first two commented lines of frappe-installer.sh to #!/bin/bash instead of #!/usr/bin/env bash

(ideally run which bash in your terminal and use that like #!<bash-path> bash
