ERPNext Installation with frappe/bench install.py on Ubuntu 16.04

Hi!
I’m trying to make a clean install of ERPNext with the frappe/bench install.py script. After a while I get the following error and I don’t know where it can come from. I’m using a sudo user and executed the following command:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/frappe/bench/master/playbooks/install.py sudo python install.py --production
Do you have any ideas?

There are several issues with installing on 16.04, maybe you can use 14.04 for the moment?
It still has support till 2019 :slight_smile:

@Marcin_Walkow Actually 16.04 installer is fairly stable.

@fredmontet Can you run the command, from frappe-bench :

./env/bin/pip install -e ./apps/frappe

and give me the output?

I am not talking about ERPNext, rather about dependencies with which potential user can have issues.
System is only 4 months old and that’s why I am not encouraging to push for new stuff too early.
Especially if you are unfamiliar with ERPNext.

Cheers!

@vjFaLk @Marcin_Walkow Thanks for your answers!
I changed to 14.04 and it works well, I’ll update the OS at least in 2019 then.

Have a good day!
