I created a new site, using the standard command:
bench new-site briantest.local
Next, I added the app ERPNext:
bench --site briantest.local install-app erpnext
All success. No errors. Next, I want to make this my default site. The “bench” tool offers this feature, so I tried it:
bench set-default-site briantest.local
This produced the following error message:
frappe app is not installed.
Run the following command to install frappe

To the best of my knowledge, Frappe is definitely installed. If you try to follow the error message’s instructions, and execute the command: bench get-app https://github.com/frappe/frappe.git …
…it fails. Because Frappe is already installed. I dug further.
The error I’m seeing is triggered by the Python function get_frappe in this file:
/home/brian/bench-repo/bench/utils.py
And the reason it’s throwing the error: because it cannot find this path:
/home/brian/frappe-bench/env/bin/frappe
I checked, and that path is valid down to “bin”. But there is no file or folder within named “frappe”
So. One of 2 things has happened:
(Possibility 1) Bench is looking at a wrong path, or for a file/path that doesn’t exist. Why is it looking for this?
…or…
(Possibility 2) Bench is correct in looking there. But my Frappe installation missed something, and didn’t create files at /home/brian/frappe-bench/env/bin/frappe. If so, why?
I’ve seen a few other posts on the forum related to set-default-site. None had any resolution. I suspect people gave up, and edited the default site manually. I could do that too. But I want to resolve the issue with bench. Thoughts?
