Error on bench init for frappe v7.x.x

Install / Update Setup

Hello everyone,

Currently trying to create a separate frappe-bench folder for a v7 but I’m experiencing problems after INFO:bench.utils:frappe-bench/env/bin/pip install -q -e frappe-bench/apps/frappe --no-cache-dir

Note: I have v10 installed with a new site and it works perfectly. Bench version is 4.1.0 on develop branch. OS is Ubuntu 16.04.4.

Here’s the complete traceback:

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks!

Got things working by doing a lot of work. Recording the steps here in case anyone needs it:

  • Reformatted laptop (had done too many things in the past 2 days just to get v7 working lol)
  • Downloaded the bench repo and followed manual install instructions
  • Changed the bench branch to a previous branch/commit
  • Reverted pip to version 9.0.3 using sudo pip install --force-reinstall pip==9.0.3 (to prevent errors looking for pip.req)
  • bench init frappe-bench --frappe-branch v7.x.x
  • cd frappe-bench; bench get-app --branch v7.x.x erpnext the_erpnext_repo*

Afterwards, tried bench start which didn’t work because procfile wasn’t auto-generated, nginx wasn’t running, etc. To fix this:

  • run bench setup procfile, socketio, redis.
  • check if nginx was running on localhost:80. If it’s not running and installation can’t be found, install nginx via sudo apt-get install nginx
  • try bench start (it should be working by now)
