Get Bench requirement error when installing ERPnext

Install / Update
1

I am getting following error in Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS server using the command sudo python3.8 -m pip install frappe-bench

ERROR: bench 5.0.0 has requirement Jinja2==2.10.3, but you'll have jinja2 3.0.3 which is incompatible.
ERROR: bench 5.0.0 has requirement requests==2.22.0, but you'll have requests 2.28.1 which is incompatible.
ERROR: bench 5.0.0 has requirement setuptools==40.8.0, but you'll have setuptools 63.2.0 which is incompatible.

But if I use the command `sudo python3.10 -m pip install frappe-bench’ I am getting this error

What is the problem and how to solve it?

Hi,

May we know which version of ERPNext you are trying to install?

Has sudo pip3 install frappe-bench been tried?

I am trying to install ERPNext 13.

As you may have noted when I issue the command sudo python3.10 -m pip install frappe-bench I am getting errors listed above.

As I am quite new to working in Ubuntu and Python I don’t know how to solve it.

Regards,

The error suggests that the html5lib library is missing. Perhaps try installing that from pip or apt and try again.
