ERPNext installation is failing on freshly installed Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS

Hello,

I am trying to install ERPNext 13 on a fresh system. The OS is Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS.

I am following the steps listed by Humenth on Github.

But the installation is failing at Step #15. Here instead of version 14 I want to install version 13.

bench init erp13 --verbose --version version-13

Here is the error part of the output.

But version 14 is getting installed properly.

What must be the problem and how to solve it?

I followed a guide that said to install ERPNExt 14 on Ubuntu 22, where it indicated that I should install node 16 and there was my suffering…h until I downgraded it to version 14 and everything worked as it should.

Hello,

As I am not an expert in Linux. I will need your assistance in downgrading.

Can you please guide me, how to downgrade NodeJS from 16.x to 14.x?

TIA

Locate the Binaries
The first step toward uninstalling NodeJS in Ubuntu is finding the folder that houses its binaries. That will enable you to confirm whether NodeJS was uninstalled.

which node
find $(echo $PATH | sed ‘s/: / /g’) -name “node” ---- (Remove space after the : dots)

Uninstall NodeJS
After locating the node binaries, the next step is to remove them.

Option 1: Remove the Path
sudo rm /usr/bin/node

Option 2: Uninstall with the apt or apt-get Command
sudo apt-get remove nodejs

Option 3: Remove All Packages with the purge Command
sudo apt-get purge nodejs
or
sudo apt-get purge – auto-remove nodejs

Let’s reinstall NodeJS

Hello @Leo_Sarmiento,

Thanks I managed to setup ERPNExt 13 and 14.

As per your suggestion I installed NodeJS 14 and I did not have to remove NodeJS 16.

I just set NodeJs 14 as default NodeJS.

TIA
