Hi @Abdulrahman! It seems that there is a problem with your mysql or with its privilege. Anyways, since this is you are new in ERPnext I do highly recommend you to use the official Easy installation of ERPnext.

3

hi @ozner102 actually i tried this installation first but i had the following error
it seems that it does not support linux mint but i will try again
Thanks

Sorry, the installer doesn't support linuxmint 19. Aborting installation!

This is what ERPNext can support. This is based on install.py

def check_distribution_compatibility():
dist_name, dist_version = get_distribution_info()
supported_dists = {
‘macos’: [10.9, 10.10, 10.11, 10.12],
‘ubuntu’: [14, 15, 16, 18, 19],
‘debian’: [8, 9],
‘centos’: [7]
}

5

But as i know that linux mint is based on Ubuntu which is supported by ERPnext

6

use ubuntu first to be in the save side then once you are comfortable with move to other distro

@nmami @ozner102 @rmehta i have tried the easy installation but i faced the following problem, when i tried to run this command sudo python3 install.py --production --user frappe
frappe is the username

OS : Ubuntu LTS 18

Thanks

Are you trying to install a production or a development?

hey @Abdulrahman, the easy install script dumps it’s logs under /tmp/logs/*.log and it’s location should be a part of the output/error you received. Can you look inside it and/or share the logfile?

@ozner102 iam trying to install production

hi guys,
i have finally found the solution of my problem at first i tried to install erpNext on linux mint but i got the following problem because erpNext does not support linux mint
Sorry, the installer doesn’t support linuxmint 19. Aborting installation
than i tried the installation on Ubuntu OS which works perfectly while the installation i got the following problem

 [WARNING]: No inventory was parsed, only implicit localhost is available

to solve the problem i used the following commands :

to stop all what is running use

sudo supervisorctl stop all

than

echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf && sudo sysctl -p

Thanks
