You have new mail in /var/mail/root

Running the install as root is never a good idea. Create a user called frappe, and install as them. Use sudo for commands that needs root privileges.

My personal rule 2) is RTFS. I find that when I make a mistake, it’s generally because I didn’t follow this rule :smile:

The install notes could not be more clear and concise, to use sudo and not root (my emphasis)

If you are on a fresh server and logged in as root, use --user flag to create a user and install using that user

python install.py --develop --user frappe
For developer setup:

sudo python install.py --develop
For production:

sudo python install.py --production
