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

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.

To disable the externally-managed-environment error

Thanks NURAV - that works well. I included it in a copy of this install script - after deleting the bit about “# Check if EXTERNALLY-MANAGED file exists and remove it”.
So the copy I used now looks:
334 # Install bench
335 echo -e "${YELLOW}Now let's install bench${NC}"
336 sleep 2
337
338 sudo python3 -m pip config --global set global.break-system-packages true
339
340 sudo apt install python3-pip -y
341 sudo pip3 install frappe-bench
342
343 # Initiate bench in frappe-bench folder, but get a supervisor can't restart bench error...
Installed to production no problem.
