Error on bench init

Hello everyone,

I have successfully installed frappe-bench on my Mac, but when I run bench init frappe-bench I get these error message;

Any one with an idea of whats going on?

Delete the frappe-bench folder and try bench init frappe-bench again. I presume there was a temporary network failure on your part which prevented your PC from getting the desired pip version.

If you are still facing this error please post here again

Thanks @codingCoffee

@codingCoffee, I have been able to install frappe bench and created a new site.

I am presently working with the frappe tutorial, but I am a bit confused. My desk is very different from that of the tutorial, What do you think can be the reason.

I do not have the preinstalled apps on my desk like item, customer, production_order etc. Does this have to do with installing erpnext also. Can’t I use the framework without the erp solution?

Thanks.
