Errors installing bench with easy install script

Frappe Framework Bug
, ,
1

On Ubuntu server running in a google cloud VM, I’m installing bench with the easy install script.

I’m getting an error, that I can’t solve.
The commands I ran:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/frappe/bench/master/playbooks/install.py
sudo python install.py --develop

The second command fails on task unarchive wkhtmltopdf with:

Near the top of the error I see the line to retry, use: --limit @develop/install.retry .

Following that I did

sudo python install.py --develop --limit @develop/install.retry

which got the error

Previous to this I was experiencing errors on my MacOS installation as well, but using a different installation method. "There were errors" - Trying to setup new site

I previously found this topic. I followed @sagar’s suggestion of manually installing wkhtmltopdf with this guide. Still receiving errors:

It looks like @Marcin_Walkow was getting the same error, but @felipeDigi’s suggestion (same as @sagar’s suggestion) seemed to fix it for him. See here

hi ,@ratskin
are you installing the erpnext setup at first time?
if Yes try to install Production Setup for installing the Prerequisite.

Thanks

Hi @sagar,

Do you mean “Is this the first time you are installing ERPNext, ever (as in you are total n00b at this)?”?

If so then, my answer is: “No. This is about the 50th time I’m trying to install ERPNext.”

If instead you mean “Is this the first time you are installing ERPNext on this server/computer?”, then my answer is “Yes, this was an entirely new server before I tried to install ERPNext.”

Following that, since my answer is “Yes” (or no, depending on what you meant), I have tried to install the production setup of ERPNext, following this method:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/frappe/bench/master/playbooks/install.py
sudo python install.py --production

And amazingly it seems to have worked. I also converted this to a dev server with this:

bench switch-to-develop
rm config/supervisor.conf
rm config/nginx.conf
sudo service nginx stop
sudo service supervisor stop
bench setup procfile
bench start
