When trying to install ERPnext I get the above error. No closing quotation. Sounds like something I should be able to fix. But which line needs a closing quotation? I’d love to just add the closing quotation to github, and I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
If you have any idea why I get this error and/or if i’m on the right track, please let me know.

Maybe you have a custom select value “No closing quotation” in one of the doc types you have customized.

Hi @Pawan, thanks for the idea! I didn’t customize anything.
I’m using “easy install” as described on this page

If anyone has any idea what I could do to fix this, I’d be really happy :slight_smile:

Follow these steps
