Error if we try to search on the search bar in Home Page - Table 'xxx.help' doesn't exist

Hi,

Whenever we are trying to search anything on the Search bar, it is always giving an error.

Error is pasted below:

Instead try ‘bench setup-help’

That worked for me

Table '****.help' doesn't exist - #3 by lasalesi

if we use this command, it is throwing an error

su frappe bench setup-help
/usr/local/bin/bench: line 3: requires: command not found
/usr/local/bin/bench: line 4: import: command not found
/usr/local/bin/bench: line 5: import: command not found

How to check if ERPNext is implemented properly as some or other error is what I am getting while typing anything on the Search bar in Home Page

bench commands are run from /home/frappe/frappe-bench directory.

Possibly that is the problem here?
