I get

Thank you for your fast answer, this are the errors from update:

Any news about this problem? :frowning: Still not working after restarts

@Nedelea_Tiberiu

It seems the requests package is not installed run the below command from frappe-bench directory to install the package

./env/bin/pip install requests or bench update --requirements

The error for ./env/bin/pip install requests is this one
@makarand_b

@makarand_b and for the second one this:

if you have a node_modules folder in your bench, delete it and run

bench setup requirements again

Also please paste your trace not share a screenshot.

Ok now this is shown

frappe@erpnext:~/frappe-bench$

run sudo pip install requests

edit: make sure you have internet access to your VM!

@rmehta it did the install, it is internet because I can find the server and it gives the error

Sorry!
We will be back soon.

Don’t panic. It’s not you, it’s us.
Most likely, our engineers are updating the code, and it should take a minute for the new code to load into memory.

Try refreshing after a minute or two.
, now the part with the install went ok and the tried again bench update and it throwed this error (i mention that I use the VM from the site)

I guess this is resolved – had the same issue and for me

$ sudo apt install python-requests

resolved the issue. The package was dropped after a dist-upgrade.
