Hi everyone, I have tried twice to install the ERPNext via script as per the directions on Github. https://github.com/frappe/bench It didn’t work, but I have the logs for the install attempt here.
I can’t seem to upload the logfile but here is the last part of the file:

This is a recurring issue with the install script. I’ve encountered this issue before but can’t quite remember how it was resolved. But I know it’s an issue with user permissions.
I’m letting it execute now. I have added erpnext as a new user to the system, added it to the sudoers list, and it just failed.

Are you installing on Ubuntu 18.04? Also, convention dictates that your site should be yourdomain.com and the default site If not specified is site1.local so you should follow that convention in naming your site.
If you are still facing difficulty installing after a few hours I’ll spin up a test server and try to replicate your issue.
For your first ever install, it is probably best to drop all of the switches except – production and --user
Let the install script handle everything else in it’s own way. You can always change the other stuff after you get a successful install. Let’s just get it to work first.
The playbook changes frequently and can sometimes be a bit fragile. Use the least invasive method possible and ask as little of the script as you can get away with. This will serve you better and reduce the risk of errors. You will be prompted on the screen for the passwords during the running of the script.
Also, you can drop the -H when using Ubuntu 18.04 and up.
The install steps are actually wrappers for the actual command. It may not be capturing all output from stderror. So we sometimes do not see the errors. It does however know that the command itself failed.
That is why, if you unpack the command and run it yourself, you will see the actual error that results from the failure of the command.
the output of running the site.yml playbook with the extra_vars is saved in the logs. that should capture stdout as well as stderr. As for the outputs of the commands run in the playbook, they too are a part of the same log file.
Yes, 18.04.04 LTS. I’m not sure what to name the site, I don’t know if I can hook it to the corporate domain as I don’t know the details for it; I would prefer to use site1.local for now.
The plain-vanilla install script is having the same error/hiccup:
erpnext@erpnext2-OptiPlex-360:~$ sudo python3 install.py --production --user erpnext

Is this because site.yml doesn’t exist? If so, how do I specify the site? I don’t really care what the name is.
OK, I was able to navigate to ~/.bench/playbooks and found site.yml; from there I tried to execute the command again and it exited with a different error:
~/.bench/playbooks$ ansible-playbook -c local site.yml -vvvv -e @/tmp/extra_vars.json –become –become-user=erpnext

Also, I have a second computer with a hard drive that has a working version of ERPNext on it, the thing is that this is the HD I pulled out of my test computer, and when I switched it to the other chassis I could run the server locally but the ethernet drivers apparently broke, so I have no ability to put it on the network. I can see that I did not use the script to install this, but went through and installed all the Python3 modules and MariaDB stuff manually. I’m not sure if I should work to clone the disk, switch the disk into the machine it was in and see if it magically fixes the Ethernet driver issue, or just keep plugging on this fresh install. If worse comes to worse, I could execute the same sequence of commands I used to get the original server up as I can still see the entire history in that Bash prompt and do the same sequence of steps. Seems like a rather inelegant solution, though.
This is just a cut-and-paste of the failed command; does this mean that the .py script has the same syntax error? I changed the double hyphen to a single hyphen and it failed, but in a different way. Before changing the hyphens I got this result:
erpnext2@erpnext2-OptiPlex-360:~/.bench/playbooks$ ansible-playbook -c local site.yml -vvvv -e @/tmp/extra_vars.json –become –become-user=erpnext

Then, after the change you suggested I got this more lengthy result:
