Hi Community,
I am using ubuntu 18.04 and was trying to install erpnext using the commands below

sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/frappe/bench/develop/install.py

sudo python3 install.py --develop --user frappe-user
Results:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "install.py", line 437, in <module>
    install_bench(args)
  File "install.py", line 241, in install_bench
    run_playbook('site.yml', sudo=True, extra_vars=extra_vars)
  File "install.py", line 362, in run_playbook
    success = subprocess.check_call(args, cwd=os.path.join(cwd, 'playbooks'), stdout=log_stream, stderr=sys.stderr)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/subprocess.py", line 311, in check_call
    raise CalledProcessError(retcode, cmd)
subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['ansible-playbook', '-c', 'local', 'site.yml', '-vvvv', '-e', '@/tmp/extra_vars.json', '--become', '--become-user=frappe-user']' returned non-zero exit status 2.

How can this be resolved?

May we know the installation directions that were being used?

Hey,
I was referring to https://github.com/frappe/bench/blob/develop/docs/easy_install.md and followed as is:
i.e

1. Created a non root user and equipped with sudo privileges.
   2.Switched to new user.
2. wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/frappe/bench/develop/install.py.
3. sudo python3 install.py.

Also tried with

1. sudo python3 install.py --develop --user [frappe-user]

[smino]

How did you switch to the new user?

You did replace the [frappe-user] with the username you created in step 1 ?

[rajatkhandeparkar]

Yes , i did replace
su - frappe-user(command used to switch to user)

[rajatkhandeparkar]

Any workarounds here please?

[smino]

Ansible status 2 apparently means.

*2* -- One or more hosts failed

If you search the forums for posts with that error there may be something that will help. I would retrace steps and try again, perhaps using a different user name other than frappe-user.

[rajatkhandeparkar]

Okay.
The issue still persist on my end.
