Bench start, bench setup procfile permission denied

Install / Update Setup
1

I’m using the frappe user. I get this error when I use bench start

[ERROR] Procfile does not exist or is not a file

If I use sudo bench start

[sudo] password for frappe:
frappe is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

I tried to follow this (Bench start error) and use the command bench setup procfile but ended up with this:

If I use sudo bench setup procfile

[sudo] password for frappe:

2

please add sudo permission for frappe user.

3

After giving frappe sudo permission, I ran sudo bench start. But it threw this error

You should not run this command as root

4

Login as frappe and retry . Since you already gave sudo permission to it.

5

try bench start only

6

bench start

[ERROR] Procfile does not exist or is not a file

sagar is correct, you do not need sudo for this command, just

cd ~/frappe-bench
bench start
