Error on bench start

Install / Update Setup

I just completed every step as in GitHub - frappe/bench: CLI to manage Multi-tenant deployments for Frappe apps for manual installation.
But I get the following No Process managers found error.
I have installed honcho already. Help please.

frappe@vmi120537:~/frappe-bench$ bench start

Hi and thanks for the reply.
The user flag doesn’t work with pip. And when I run:

pip install honcho

I again get

Requirement already satisfied: honcho in /root/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages

Do I have to add it to the PATH? If yes, kindly let me know how.
Thanks.

Adding the path should work

echo 'export PATH="/root/.local/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
5

No luck with that either.
Same No Process manager found error.

6

source ~/.bashrc ?

7

Still nothing. Same error

8

To avoid issues be sure to run install with sudo from non-root user account…

Yes I’ve been doing that lately. Thanks

I’m having the same error on a manually installed Erpnext.
Tried above suggestion but no success.

pip install --user honcho
Requirement already satisfied: honcho in /home/frappe/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages (1.0.1)

Any update ?

I started fresh with a new Ubuntu instance, and installed with easy install script. Worked like a charm.

Unfortunately this is not an option in my case.

14

reinstalling honcho as root solved the problem.

I do not know that following process is best practice…but it worked for me.

  1. remove honcho - pip uninstall honcho
  2. sudo -H pip install honcho or sudo pip install honcho.

ashokbathu’s solution worked for me although not the whole thing i just had to run
$ sudo -H pip install honcho

I come across this with a fresh install of 13.26.0.

Suddenly honcho is not there… very weird…
