Its just a local instance i need to setup on a laptop not sure if i answered the question correctly.
Thank you for the script, great work. I would like to know how to add HRMS to this
The error suggests an issue with your hardware but i cannot tell exactly why and your screenshot suggests there should be enough resources to run the installation successfully.
cd frappe-bench
bench get-app hrms --branch [your-erpnext-version]
bench --site [your-site-name] install-app hrms
[your-erpnext-version] eg: version-15
[your-site-name] eg: erp.mydomain.com
first i tried just hrms without branch and version number. it gave error and entire site got corrupted and gave 404 error. i tried installing with version number as same as erpnext version and it worked fine.
simply adding these lines does not work. You still needed to install python3.10 which is currently not supported in the script. while i have been able to handle all other issues with installing on 24.04, setting up production has been a pain… so if you did set up production successfully would you mind sharing what you did because i’ve tried many fixes but fail2ban fails to set up and the process breaks.
Hi flex2sky
Sorry not to reply earlier - have been snowed under. That fail2ban problem is NEW.
I always install on a fresh copy of Ubuntu Server. The repos for 23.10 install python 3.11 & for 24.04 that’s 3.12. Starting in 3.11 there’s now a requirement to use a venv when installing stuff - otherwise “sudo pip3 install frappe-bench” should give “error: externally-managed-environment”
See: python - pip install -r requirements.txt is failing: "This environment is externally managed" - Stack Overflow
and: PEP 668 – Marking Python base environments as “externally managed” | peps.python.org
/usr/lib/python3.12/EXTERNALLY-MANAGED is just an empty marker file and removing it causes Python to revert to the way it behaves in 3.10. I included this after reading installs like: Installing ERPNext version 15 on Ubuntu 23+
That said - I now see it’s a very ham-fisted way for production. Years down the track you may end up with multiple incompatible versions of Python all over your drive. I’m not experienced with venv - so I’ll try a deep dive into pipx & learn how to use that.
With regards fail2ban - I just did an install (24.04) - after “$ bench setup role fail2ban” you get:
ERROR! [DEPRECATED]: ansible.builtin.include has been removed. Use include_tasks or import_tasks instead. This feature was removed from ansible-core in a release after 2023-05-16. Please update your playbooks.
The error appears to be in ‘/usr/local/lib/python3.12/dist-packages/bench/playbooks/roles/mariadb/tasks/main.yml’: line 2, column 3, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.
The offending line appears to be:
- include: centos.yml
^ here
ERROR: Command ‘[‘ansible-playbook’, ‘-c’, ‘local’, ‘site.yml’, ‘-vvvv’, ‘-e’, ‘{“production”: true, “admin_emails”: “”, “mysql_root_password”: null, “container”: false}’, ‘-t’, ‘fail2ban’]’ returned non-zero exit status 1.
From Ansible’s site: ansible.builtin.include – Include a play or task list — Ansible Documentation … “we are looking at deprecating it in the near future.” That was 2.10 & they appear coy in updating their docs. But see: ansible.builtin.include has been Removed in Ansible version 2.16 · Issue #389 · ansible-ThoTeam/nexus3-oss · GitHub
And with the install I just did I’ve got:
bower@erpdemo:~/frappe-bench$ ansible --version
ansible [core 2.16.7]
I’ll can check install logs at work tomorrow. I didn’t get an error last time I installed on 24.04. I’ll also try to flesh out that node vs nodejs issue.
I did an install on what must have been the beta version on 20 March - no problem. That was with ansible-9.3.0, ansible-core-2.16.4 & fail2ban (1.0.2-3).
Then on 14 May I did another install on 24.04 - again no prob. With ansible-9.5.1, ansible-core-2.16.6 & fail2ban (1.0.2-3).
So - whatever’s gone wrong must be quite recent.
The install I did last night that reproduced your error was with ansible-playbook [core 2.16.7]. Version 2.16.7 was released on 20 May - if that fits with the error you got. Couldn’t see anything in the changelog relating to this though: ansible/changelogs/CHANGELOG-v2.16.rst at v2.16.7 · ansible/ansible · GitHub
You’ll see that if you do a “sudo bench setup production [username]” on the failed install you should get the error again.
I’ll post this to the main ERPNext forum & see what they say.
@Elkanaaa I have a fix for it already in the install script. i am including support for 23.04, 24.04 and Debian 12. Will be published in a couple of hours. I’m just testing across distros and versions to ensure full support is still guaranteed for existing distros.
UPDATE: Support added for Ubuntu 23.04, 24.04 and Debian 12. Also, ERPNext installation is now optional and added optional install for HRMS.

Just tried - everything ran fine until HRMS install.
Installation for Frappe HR app failed due to an error. Please try re-installing the app or report the issue on https://github.com/frappe/hrm
s/issues/new if not resolved.
An error occurred while installing hrms: Module import failed for Expense Claim Type, the DocType you’re trying to open might be deleted.<br
Error: No module named ‘frappe.core.doctype.expense_claim_type’
Then the script stopped - and the webpage gives:
Uncaught Server Exception
There was an error building this page
Error Code: 404
If you don’t know what just happened, and wish to file a ticket please
copy the error below and share it.
I’ll try it again in a few hours without the HRMS module.
Tried again without HRMS. Ran smoothly and installed no problem.
Ahh - just noticed - instead of a directory “frappe-bench” - it created one named “v14-bench” instead (and I installed ERPNext v15).
My bad. I have reverted the bench directory to the default frappe-bench.
i noticed that HRMS install fails sometimes but its got nothing to do with the script.

So it is better to skip HRMS in auto installer and do it manually right?
Yes. Although the failure doesn’t occur every time
Hello @flexy2ky,

Hi flex2sky
That Python marker file - /usr/lib/python3.11/EXTERNALLY-MANAGED - or - /usr/lib/python3.12/EXTERNALLY-MANAGED can magically reappear.
Just tried to update Bench in an old production install I did on 23.10 - sudo pip3 install --upgrade frappe-bench - and was surprised to get a “This environment is externally managed”.
Sure enough - in /usr/lib/python3.11 - that EXTERNALLY-MANAGED file is back. Must have been some update (currently Python 3.11.6).
I’ll try this weekend to get your script to run with pipx (instead of removing that file) and let you know how I go.
