[Guide] How to install ERPNext v15 on Linux Ubuntu (step-by-step instructions)

Suresh_Thakor · October 20, 2023, 9:08pm

@shashank_shirke. There is nothing change in command.

You just copied and pasted it here on the New Thread.

change is here 5.2 Initialize Frappe Bench

bench init --frappe-branch version-14 frappe-bench. ## change to 15

No any Official Release for the below app.

User will face incompatibility issue.

Thanks.

The v14 thread is too long now with 200+ replies and so it is better to have any issues related to the latest v15 in a separate thread instead of continuing in the old v14 thread.

As of now, the HRMS app currently does not have a version-15 branch (only version-15-beta is there) and so it installs the develop branch by default. I have tested this and it seems to work

There is also a change of version numbers for Node (4.2) and for get-app erpnext (6.1)

Also, I tried installing the Python 3.11 release but v15 still requires python3.10-venv so continued with 3.10 for now. Let’s see if others encounter any issues with v15 and we can continue to update the guide accordingly.

You can try this unnattended install script to install version 15.

in addition, you can select the specific version you wish to install. currently supports installation of Versions 13 to 15.

Hi @shashank_shirke ,
Thank you for your details installation.
Kindly, I have a question.
Can I use this documentation to implement ERPnext for my customer? I mean is this stable and doesn’t have any interruption?
Am saying this because I try some documentation for installing ERPnext14, but after some weeks, the server down, and need from me to setup again, or tell me Internal server error

hI,

I followed and installed completely but site shows like this below.

shashank_shirke · October 24, 2023, 1:39pm

Hi @Omar_Mohammed
Yes, version 15 is a stable release and you can definitely implement it for your customers. The documentation has almost all aspects covered in detail but I agree that there can still be issues that are difficult to troubleshoot and are not explicitly mentioned in the documentation. For such issues you can always refer to this community forum and ask for help.

Also, if you’re finding it difficult to implement and maintain the self-hosted version of ERPNext then I would highly recommend you to check the cloud version here: https://frappecloud.com/

Using the cloud version is a good starting point as you won’t have to worry about the installation and maintenance of the package. You can directly jump to the implementation and customization steps.

Hi @stepsibg

It looks like your browser did not load the resources like CSS and JS files correctly. Did you complete the step no. 5.4 mentioned in the guide above?

Trying running this command chmod -R o+rx /home/[frappe-user]/ and then bench restart

stepsibg · October 24, 2023, 1:57pm

I think I missed this command.

i tried it but getting this error “Operation not permitted”

shashank_shirke · October 24, 2023, 1:58pm

Try running the command as superuser sudo chmod -R o+rx /home/[frappe-user]

stepsibg · October 24, 2023, 1:58pm

I tried with Sudo chmod -R o+rx /home/[frappe-user]/

and no error.

site is working now

Thanks a lot

stepsibg · October 24, 2023, 1:59pm

yes

worked and site is running now

and then did bench setup supervisor

i thing i need to set proper supervisor config file ,

any help would be appreciated.

this feels insecure, isn’t it should be frappe-bench folder only?

Do you want to rollback these changes? [y/N]:

Any clue what might be?

RollBack ? No

go to bench folder then run

bench setup requirements --python

bench pip install -e apps/frappe

Ranz_Win · December 5, 2023, 4:19am

i’m having error in bench restart as well. Any resolution on this @shashank_shirke ?
