Getting an error when trying to install frappe 15 on ubuntu 22.04

I’m following this tutorial on how to install frape/erpnext on the Ubuntu 22.04 server.

I followed the steps without errors until this bench initialization bench init --frappe-branch version-15 frappe-bench , where I’m getting this error:

frappe@ubuntu-s-1vcpu-512mb-10gb-sfo3-01:~$ bench init --frappe-branch version-15 frappe-bench
Setting Up Environment

Installing frappe
$ /home/frappe/frappe-bench/env/bin/python -m pip install --quiet --upgrade -e /home/frappe/frappe-bench/apps/frappe 
subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '/home/frappe/frappe-bench/env/bin/python -m pip install --quiet --upgrade -e /home/frappe/frappe-bench/apps/frappe ' died with <Signals.SIGKILL: 9>.

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

ERROR: There was a problem while creating frappe-bench

The bench version is 5.22.3, ubuntu version Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS.

Please can someone help me to fix this problem?

Hi,

May we know the hosting environment resources - cpu/ram/disk?

cpu: 1 virtual cpu
ram: 512mb
disk: 10gb

Karani’s tutorial say you need 4GB RAM and 40GB Hard Disk. Try upgrading to meet the hardware requirements and you may have better experience.
