Hi @Hafees_Kazhunkil,

I think this is the same issue as found here

Install-app of a custom app that requires erpnext fails in develop

Dear colleagues, I have a custom app that requires erpnext. Therefore, requirements.txt looks like this: frappe erpnext Installing the app on a production system works without issues. When running sudo bench get-app https://github.com/(user)/(repo).git on a development machine (which has frappe and erpnext installed and up to date), throws this error: INFO:bench.app:installing woocommerceconnector INFO:bench.utils:./env/bin/pip install -q -e ./apps/woocommerceconnector --no-cache-dir Co…

Create new app failed with error Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1

You should try a git init in your app directory ./apps/custom_app Later you could add an origin with git to upload it in your server repository like github or gitlab or any other server.

To resolve this, the the setup.py file and correct

install_requires = f.read().strip().split('
')

to

install_requires = f.read().strip().split('\n')

After that, push your new app to github, delete the local app/yourapp folder, then run

$ bench get-app https://github/yourname/yourapp.git
$ bench install-app yourapp

Hope this helps.
