ERPNext Installation in Ubuntu 14.04

Demerit · December 4, 2016, 2:07pm

Greetings to the community.

Its with a lot of frustration that i write to this community seeking for help on installing ERPNext in Ubuntu.

For 2 days, I have followed the instructions HERE And ON THIS SITE And ALSO HERE

The manual installation is quit difficult and always ends up breaking for one reason or the other while the automatic instruction has missing files (404 Nof Found) during downloads, disrupting the automatic process.

Please is there a source from which i can do the automatic installation even if its for a lower or higher version of Ubuntu? I will very much appreciate you assistance.

Why not proceed with the easy way,

sudo -i
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/frappe/bench/master/playbooks/install.py
sudo python install.py --production --user frappe

Post screenshot in case of got stuck, good luck with installation, there’re a lot of frustrations comes after upon configurations, get ready!

Look at /etc/apt/sources.list it might be caused by other entries, just disable it for now.

yes, mirrors for MariaDB has been changed yesterday into digitalocean servers and today to datautama!
It could be the reason

I don’t know where they place that line it scripts, anway try to install MariaDB manually before executing installer.

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 0xcbcb082a1bb943db
sudo add-apt-repository ‘deb [arch=amd64,i386,ppc64el] http://kartolo.sby.datautama.net.id/mariadb/repo/10.0/ubuntu trusty main’

This line is really strange, are you using ubuntu? or somehow derivative distro?!
yum and epel-release are for Redhat, CentOS, Fedora etc.

Do you have webmin installed? disable its repo in /etc/apt/sources.list till you finish installation
webmin shown in that mirror

Thanks for assistance. I noticed what the problem was.

Just for the sake of anyone who will visit this post let me explain:

First change user to root user by typing:
sudo -i

You may be prompted to enter password, just enter and continue.

download the installation file:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/frappe/bench/master/playbooks/install.py
Execute the installation file with a different user “frappe” is used in this case. However, it can be any name of your choice.

sudo python install.py --production --user frappe

if the installation fails along the line, repeat point 3

when its all done, you should see something like this:
PLAY RECAP *********************************************************************
localhost : ok=57 changed=25 unreachable=0 failed=0

Frappe/ERPNext has been successfully installed!

Go to your browser and type:
localhost:80
Login and you are good to go.

Bonne Chance…
