I’ve tried following the few available install guides for ERPNext 15 on Ubuntu 22, Ubuntu 23 and Debian 12. I get errors every time I try to install frappe.
Has anybody had luck installing ERPNext 15?
follow this video tutorial. Only thing to change is Version no. i.e. where ever it is version-14 in the video, replace it with version-15-beta. I have tried and installed it on ubuntu server 22.04.3 and it works flawlessly…

Debian 12 ERPNext 15 installation is working fine.
Only need a quick workaround for pip3 when encountering the E-M error:
Note: There is a bug with Python 3.11 and Debian 12; workaround:
sudo rm /usr/lib/python3.*/EXTERNALLY-MANAGED
I’ve done the upgrade from 14 to 15 on Debian 12, but can’t remember any of the process. Now I am trying to spawn a test environment using the same on a local VM, but problems after problems. Python is the biggest problem, can you help please?
Following points should lead you through the process. The individual lines should be well understood (not just blindly copied). Make changes according to your user name, site name, and so forth.
Server Setup
1.1 Login to the server as root user
1.2 Create User
We create this user as a security measure to prevent root user access.
This user will be assigned admin permissions and will be used as the main Frappe Bench user.
apt-get install sudo -y
adduser erpnext
usermod -aG sudo erpnext
su erpnext
cd /home/erpnext/
Note: Replace [erpnext] with your username.
1.2 Setup correct date and timezone
Set timezone
sudo timedatectl set-timezone “Europe/Berlin”
TEST
date

3 CONFIGURE MYSQL SERVER

sudo mysql_secure_installation
During the setup process the server will prompt you with a few questions as given below;
Enter current password for root: (Enter your SSH root user password)
Switch to unix_socket authentication [Y/n]: Y
Change the root password? [Y/n]: Y
Set new MySQL root password. This can be different from the SSH root user password.
Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] Y
Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n]: Y
Set as N if you want to access the database from a remote server for using business analytics software like Metabase / PowerBI / Tableau, etc.
Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n]: Y
Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n]: Y
3.2 EDIT MySQL default config file
sudo nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf
Add the below code block at the bottom of the file;
[mysqld]

character-set-server = utf8mb4
collation-server = utf8mb4_unicode_ci
[mysql]
default-character-set = utf8mb4
3.3 Restart the MySQL server (for the config to take effect)
sudo service mysql restart

Yes, on local ESXI server with Ubuntu 24.04 and flexcomng/erpnext_quick_install script and installed webmin, only problem was using firefox logging into erpnext wasnt working had to switch browsers.
Alright never mind, EDIT*
If your terminal is complaining “PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: ‘frappe-bench’”
Try switching to the home directory by cd ~ and it should install now.
