I’m not able to recreate the error at my end.
But it seems you already have bench installed on your system, so you can simply do a bench init frappe-bench at your desired location to install frappe. Follow this guide if need be.

Now coming to the error, while installing bench the 1st time, you had installed it from /home/erpnext/newproject/bench-repo . And this time you’re trying to install it from /home/erpnext/logistics/bench-repo which is probably causing the error.

Mr. @codingCoffee I have the same problem

I can’t proceed to bench init frappy-bench because I get other errors like bellow

The 'GitPython==2.1.11' distribution was not found and is required by bench

hi there I tried to install erpnext in centos7 which panel/whm already installed. when I use install-script there was dependency conflict as bellow issue thanks for @clarkej and @fromthestone for replying but I couldn’t apply their solutions I decided to install manually base on bellow https://www.vultr.com/docs/how-to-install-erpnext-open-source-erp-on-centos-7 but the time I run bench init erpnext && cd erpnext I get this error pkg_resouces.DistributionNotFound: The 'GitPython'==2.1.…

my error is like this

AssertionError: Egg-link /root/bench-repo does not match installed location of bench (at /opt/bench/bench-repo)

isn’t there anyway to remove first one?
