How I install ERPNext on Ubuntu 18.04

1

I tried to install bench using ‘easy setup’ but it fails because my machine is ubuntu 18.04. Then I tried to manual setup but bench not run after ‘pip install --user -e bench-repo’ command.

when i enter

bench init frappe-bench && cd frappe-bench

It returns

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/home/aziz/.local/bin/bench”, line 6, in

Add this line to your ~/.bashrc file

PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin/

Restart your shell using

exec bash

Now you can delete the frappe-bench folder and try the command again

bench init frappe-bench && cd frappe-bench
