Good day all
I have decided to take the leap and install ERPNext on a 2/2 Digital ocean droplet.
Using Ubuntu 16.04.6
( I was wanting to use their ERPnext-image but that required a much bigger droplet and wont
install on a 2/2 droplet. It needs 160GB disk-space).
I need to run a small 1 user ERPNext instance for a small startup-business of 300 stock-items.
I have been following this guide:
GUIDE A
erpnext_admin_guide | ERPNext Administrators Guide.
The install script it downloads and runs is:
curl “https://raw.githubusercontent.com/frappe/bench/master/playbooks/install.py”
-o install.py
sudo python install.py --production --site [site name].[domain] --user erpnext
–bench-name erpnext-prd --verbose 2>&1 | tee --append erpnext-install.log
This just gets stuck.
Another install procedure that I found is at:
GUIDE B
It basically does:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/frappe/bench/develop/playbooks/install.py
sudo python install.py --production
question:
-
I notice that the one script is at …/frappe/bench/develop…
and the other at /frappe/bench/master…
Which one should I use? -
Also , when I still use GUIDE A, and instead of the long “sudo python” instruction, I simply type
sudo python install.py --production
Then in complains about the fact that I should be using python 3. I have python 2.7.
Will it break the install if I continue running the install script with pythoin 2.7 instead of python 3?
I have been reading up about upgrading python 2.7 to python 3 and it seems that one needs to be
carefull with that.
Buttom line: I am stuck a bit and need some advise please !
Thanks
John
