This is my first time installing ERPNext.
Here is the url of the guide i used How to install ERPNext open source ERP on CentOS 7 - Programmer Sought
Almost everything went fine until when i tried to create a new site i got an error which i don’t understand.

Try bench update --build then try the new site again.

A lot of the code has been redeveloped for python 3.x, so it may help to update your python environment to a newer version

Please am still having same error…

[bench@rtl frappe-bench]$ bench update --build

To have ERPNext use python3 rather than 2.7 try bench migrate-env python3.8. The error suggests that there may be a malformed json string , you can try bench update --reset , though it might be a problem with the installation process.

Okay.

Please do you any documentation for the installation…Maybe i should from scratch.
