Tried to install ERPNext on Ubuntu 16.04. Got this error:

Any idea?

Hi @Aric! Could you tell us what are the steps you took and in which step you had the error?

3

Could you please let me know what hardware specs are you using to deploy, especially the amount of memory?

Here’s my steps:

git clone GitHub - frappe/bench: CLI to manage Multi-tenant deployments for Frappe apps bench-repo
sudo pip install -e bench-repo
bench init frappe-bench

It failed on the last step.

The Ubuntu is running on a cloud server (like AWS). It has 4 cores and 16GB memory. The following is the output of ‘free -m’:

aric@cs1:~$ free -m
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 16046 4102 5362 100 6580 11685
Swap: 0 0 0

Python version is 2.7.12.

Thanks,
Aric

It seems that you’re trying to install manually. Please check all Pre-requisites as below

Python 2.7
MariaDB 10+
Nginx (for production)
Nodejs
Redis
cron (crontab is required)
wkhtmltopdf with patched Qt (for pdf generation)

Ref : https://github.com/frappe/bench

However, please try using the script in “Easy Install” method. I installed via the script without any errors.

Hope this help.

My understanding is that the “easy install” script is for the clean system. My system already has other applications running, including Mariadb, Nginx, Redis. Will the “easy install” affect other applications?

Thanks.
