unfortunately i could make it happen
File “install.py”, line 143, in install_prerequisites
‘python3’: “sudo -H python3 -m pip install --upgrade setuptools cryptography ansible==2.8.5 pip”

I tried:
sudo python install.py --production
sudo python3 install.py --production
upgraded pip

both get lead to the same error above

realespee · April 9, 2021, 11:15am

Same persistent issue with me

aymangabir · April 9, 2021, 12:08pm

I done it smoothly by switching to ubuntu 18.04 with V13 as directed :

1- sudo apt -y install git vim libffi-dev python-pip python3-distutils python-dev libssl-dev wkhtmltopdf
2- export LC_ALL=C.UTF-8
3- wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/frappe/bench/develop/install.py sudo python3 install.py --verbose --production --user USER --mariadb-version 10.5 --frappe-branch version-13 --erpnext-branch version-13

realespee · April 9, 2021, 1:13pm

I thought he had directed Ubuntu 16.04, it has persistently given the same error with Ubuntu 16. Did you mean that i switch to Ubuntu 18.04?

aymangabir · April 11, 2021, 9:01pm

This what i have done, switch to 18.04 , it was just a new GCP instance for me.

sudo apt-get install python3-dev

sudo python3 install.py --production

Try this, I’ve just installed two instances on GCP - it worked for me.

Landmark_Mumbai · April 14, 2021, 10:11am

Hi there, I followed your steps on GCP, it took root and erpnext admin password.
What is the next step after ‘sudo python3 install.py --verbose --production --user USER --mariadb-version 10.5 --frappe-branch version-13 --erpnext-branch version-13’?

jycob · April 14, 2021, 10:15am

did it run without errors ?

jycob · April 14, 2021, 10:17am

if no error try to access your ipadress and login using set password

Landmark_Mumbai · April 14, 2021, 10:22am

jycob, steps completed without any error. But while trying to access using my external ipaddress, it shows ‘This site can’t be reached’.

Suresh_Thakor · April 14, 2021, 10:28am

sudo systemctl restart nginx

Landmark_Mumbai · April 14, 2021, 11:05am

Doesn’t help!
After running ‘sudo python3 install.py --verbose --production --user USER --mariadb-version 10.5 --frappe-branch version-13 --erpnext-branch version-13’

do I need to also run remaining steps from your post viz:
> root@instance-2:/home/smthakor1979# sudo su - frappe
> frappe@instance-2:~ cd frappe-bench/sites
> frappe@instance-2:~ mv site1.local mytesterp.com
> frappe@instance-2:~ nano mycompany.com/site_config.json
> –Add This Line below MariaDB
> “host_name”: “http://mytesterp.com ”,… ??

Suresh_Thakor · April 14, 2021, 11:17am

sudo su - frappe : this command for change user [frappe is user]
cd frappe-bench/sites : go to directory where site folder is located.
mv site1.local [site name] : site1.local is default and this command move it to your domain name.
“host_name”: “http://mytesterp.com ”, add this line in ur site config.

Landmark_Mumbai · April 15, 2021, 10:48am

Hi Aditya, followed your steps given on ERPNext Installation. Got this error:

Landmark_Mumbai · April 15, 2021, 12:38pm

@Aditya_Bagarka
It worked seamlessly when I retried using ubuntu20.04 (previously i was trying with 16.04).
Thanks a lot

When running this command: sudo python install.py --production --verbose

This is my output:
