So, using bench get-app, I got an app from a repository, ran the app’s setup.py file, and am now trying to install it on a site. However, a prompt says that the app cannot be found.
What could be the matter here?
Help is much appreciated!
To install app run the bench --site your-sitename install-app appname.
Also check your app name is available in the sites/apps.txt file
Thanks, Makarand
…I just said that, upon trying to install it, I see a prompt that says that the app cannot be found. And, yes, the app’s name is in that text file.
Check if your app is inside the /home/frappe/frappe-home/apps/ folder. If not in there you have to run the bench get-app again to download your app to the apps/ folder before you install it.
Cheers
It’s in ~/frappe-bench/apps/
could you please run the install again and take a screen shot and post.
Cheers
can it be the name of your apps folder contains an unsupported character or a space? I could imagine that may cause such an error
OK. I ran bench get-app again. This is the traceback after running it:

So, once again, the folder of the app (vcs) is there, but when I run bench install-app I get:
Could not find app "vcs"
Doubt it; the name is simply vcs.
that looks save (unless there was a minimum of characters required out of any reason. That does not sound too likely to be the case, but who knows)
