Thank you for your effort.

Can it be on a VPS server running Ubuntu 24.04?

for erpnext 16 & hrms 16

23

Thank you so much, i’m also on Ubuntu 25

24

I was getting this error while installing erpnext 16 on ubuntu 25 at step 10

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: ‘./apps’

Resolved it by giving sudo access & was able to access erpnext.

But the command ‘bench setup production frappe_user’ is not working

the error is 'sudo-rs: ‘bench’: command not found’

Thanks

Missing wkhtmltopdf.
That said, I remember some chatter regarding replacing wkhtmltopdf for something like puppeteer (maybe).
We need to have a good, coherent and reproducible method for spinning a Frappe-Bench machine (with or without ERP-Next).
I am currently working on this, so it will be as simple as possible, and still, I don’t know what to do about wkhtmltopdf.

Many thanks for this & your effort - tried with Ubuntu 25.10

Everything OK until Step 12: bench get-app hrms --branch v16.0.0

error Error: ``https://registry.yarnpkg.com/argparse/-/argparse-2.0.1.tgz:`` Request failed "500 Internal Server Error"

error Command failed with exit code 1.

And then at Step 13: bench --site site1.local install-app erpnext

Please make sure that Redis Queue runs @ redis://127.0.0.1:11000. Redis reported error: Error 111 connecting to 127.0.0.1:11000. Connection refused.

From memory Redis used to do something similar with ERPNext v15 install - can’t remember the fix.

And then with: bench --site site1.local install-app hrms

It returned that “App erpnext already installed” but:

An error occurred while installing hrms: App hrms not in apps.txt

35

There’s discussion about this error in reddit here. I’m trying to get my head around it & will post here IF I find a fix.

36

OK - I get (from within ~/frappe-bench)

bench setup production frappe_user
WARN: superuser privileges required for this command

but if I do: bench -v setup production frappe_user - then it gets as far as fail2ban before giving that error:

$ bench setup role fail2ban
WARN: superuser privileges required for this command

And doing: 'bench -v setup role fail2ban’ returns:
Ansible is needed to run this command, please install it using 'pip install ansible'

37

I had production setup steps here

38

Still getting issues with redis … it’s as if frappe-bench/sites/common_site_config.json

isn’t doing what it’s supposed to do & so redis not listening on 127.0.0.1:11000 or 127.0.0.1:13000

and throwing errors at Step 13:

bench --site site1.local install-app erpnext

bench --site site1.local install-app hrms

I’m just running 25.10 on bare metal
