But running bench command does not yield anything:

$   bench init frappe-bench && cd frappe-bench
No command 'bench' found, did you mean:
 Command 'dbench' from package 'dbench' (universe)
 Command 'tbench' from package 'dbench' (universe)
bench: command not found`

My system is Ubuntu 17.10, I wanted to use install.py script, but it supports “Ubuntu 16” only, whether 16.06 or .10 is unclear.

Do you have ~/.local/bin in your path?

What is the output of

echo $PATH

I installed bench successfully but NONE OF Bench commands working …

echo “export PATH=‘$HOMEPATH/.local/bin:$PATH’” >> ~/.bashrc

Reset your shell or open a new one and try again. I see you’ve installed bench for the user only.

$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin

I do not. Documentation should clarify this point, I think.

After pip installation finished. Logout and then log in again so the path gets updated properly. It will work fine then.

Check whether Bench has been installed correctly (you may wish to log out and log back into your terminal before this step, as this will refresh your environment variable, adding ~/.local/bin to your path if it not already there)

it does.
