After PRODUCTION install I get "WARN: bench is installed in editable mode!"

@revant_one has wonderfully explained the meaning of the error and how to switch envs in this thread:

All bench commands failing on CentOS7 as bench reverted back from python3 to python2.7

Using pip install -e ./bench-repo installs the bench from the locally cloned bench-repo directory. That is called the editable mode. Because you can edit the bench source code and it’ll reflect when bench command is executed. It is recommended if you’re developing bench itself or sending PR to bench repo. If pip install frappe-bench is used, it’ll pull the pypi package and install it. You’ll not be able to do bench development. Recommended when you know editing bench is not required.

All bench commands failing on CentOS7 as bench reverted back from python3 to python2.7

uninstall bench, pip uninstall bench Install bench, pip install frappe-bench If it doesn’t work, use sudo, That’s common practice.

Again, make sure to proceed cautiously
