Easy Install fails on Ubuntu 16

ERPNext
#1

Today, I was going to install a new production bench on a fresh Ubuntu 16 Virtual Server image.

After updating my system and downloading install.py, I created frappe user and gave him sudo permissions, as per tutorial. Starting installation with this command (As root):
python3 install.py --production --user frappe

Results in:

My guess is, that the installation script is currently broken and leads to a package that no longer exists.

Right now, I’m trying to replace the package “libssl1.0-dev” with “libssl-dev” and I’ll let you know how and if it works.

Edit: This missing package is still listed as a dependency in site.yaml. This is a temporary file that deletes itself once the installation fails, so I currently have no way of accessing it and replacing the broken package.

Is it happening in Digitalocean?

What you can do it follow the instructions found here:

https://github.com/servo/servo/issues/15759

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
add deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security main to the file
sudo apt update
now the script should run or you can even manually install it ‘sudo apt-get install libssl1.0-dev’

This works to circumvent this issue, but it leads to several other dependency issues during installation

#4

Yep thats true. I used Debian in the end actually on DO. Then it was possible to install.

Somebody please update the easy install script :slight_smile:
