How to install erpnext from A-Z

[Mestoof]

Hello everyone today i will show you how to install ERPNEXT step by step

**==> First of all you should make a new installation of Ubuntu 16 or 18 lts **
==> in my case i have Ubuntu 16.04 lts server installed on Virtualbox 6

**==> i will use SSH to make this installation **
==> in your Virtualbox machine tape:
ip a
**==> to get your ip address **
==> i will use putty for SSH connexion

==> let’s move to Root account:

sudo su
----- Test the internet connexion -----
ping www.google.com
----- update and upgrade the system ------

apt update
apt upgrade

----- Fix Ip ------------
iface enp0s6 inet static
address 192.168.1.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1
dns-nameservers 1.1.1.1 8.8.8.8

----- Reboot the system -----
reboot

----- Test the internet connexion -----
ping www.google.com

----- create an user named FRAPPE -----
==>you can use any name but i will use FRAPPE

adduser frappe
**==> (you will be promoted to give this new use a Password, i will use “sysuserpass”) **
==> make our user parte of sudo’s group
usermod -aG sudo frappe

----- installation prerequisites ------
apt install build-essential -y
apt install software-properties-common -y
apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0xF1656F24C74CD1D8
apt install dirmngr -y
apt install curl -y

----- installation MariaDb -----
==> use this link, will help you to install the last version of MariaDb:

Download MariaDB Server - MariaDB.org

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 0xF1656F24C74CD1D8
— For Ubuntu 16
sudo add-apt-repository ‘deb [arch=amd64,arm64,i386,ppc64el] ftp.cc.uoc.gr - University of Crete / Computer Center xenial main’
— For Ubuntu 18
sudo add-apt-repository ‘deb [arch=amd64,arm64,ppc64el] Index of /mirror/mariadb/repo/10.4/ubuntu/ bionic main’
sudo apt update
apt install mariadb-client mariadb-server -y

----- Configuration MariaDb -----
vim /etc/mysql/my.cnf
===== Edit MariaDb configuration =====
==> search for this line and add #
#skip-external-locking
==> search for this line and change 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0
bind-address = 0.0.0.0

==> under [mysqld] add this lines, in the end of [mysql]

innodb-file-format=barracuda
innodb-file-per-table=1
innodb-large-prefix=1
character-set-client-handshake = FALSE
character-set-server = utf8mb4
collation-server = utf8mb4_unicode_ci

under [mysql] add this line
default-character-set = utf8mb4

sudo systemctl restart mariadb
sudo systemctl enable mariadb
mysql_secure_installation
**==> put Y for all the question, the script will ask you for mysql root password **
==> i will use “passmysql”

******* Test MariaDb**
mysql -u root -p
******* Test MariaDb with FRAPPE**
su - frappe
mysql -u root -p

----- create database ERPNEXT with Frappe user-----
create database erpnext;
show databases;
\q

----- installation nginx -----
sudo su
apt install nginx -y

********* test nginx**
http://192.168.1.10
you should see a welcome to inginx message

----- installation prerequisites 2 ------
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo bash -
apt install nodejs -y

----- Installing npm -------
npm install npm -g
test node and npm version

node -v && npm -v
for me (in 8 Nov 2019)
v10.17.0
6.13.0

------- installation yarn -------
NB: make sure that the installation is good
curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
echo “deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install yarn -y
yarn --version
for me (in 8 Nov 2019)
1.19.1

apt install redis-server -y
******* testing redis
redis-cli
127.0.0.1:6379> ping
PONG

apt install wkhtmltopdf -y
apt install git-core -y
apt install python-pip -y
pip install --upgrade setuptools
apt-get install python2.7-dev libmysqlclient-dev
pip install MySQL-python --no-use-wheel
apt install supervisor -y

==> Reboot Server
reboot

==> now we will use ower user (Frappe)
su - frappe
cd
git clone GitHub - frappe/bench: CLI to manage Multi-tenant deployments for Frappe apps bench-repo
sudo pip install -e bench-repo
bench init --frappe-branch version-12 --python /usr/bin/python2.7 frappe-bench && cd frappe-bench
==> now you should open two SSH sesion, one for the installation and the other one for starting bench
==> in ssh sesion two
su - frappe
cd
cd frappe-bench
bench start
==> in the sesion one you should be in frappe-bench directory

bench get-app erpnext GitHub - frappe/erpnext: Free and Open Source Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)

**==> myerpnext.local is the name of your site **
**==> erpnext is the name of the database **
**==> passmysql is the password you tape it after mysql_secure_installation **
==> myerppass is your admin password, you will use it in the browser
bench new-site myerpnext.local --db-name erpnext --mariadb-root-password passmysql --admin-password myerppass --install-app erpnext --verbose --force
sudo bench setup production frappe
sudo systemctl reload nginx

==> it is very good to reboot the systeme after this
reboot

==> open you ssh after rebooting
su - frappe
sudo supervisorctl stop all
sudo supervisorctl start all

**==> now brows to your server ip (http://192.168.1.10) **
==> if everything is good you will be promoted to enter username and password
==> the user is Administrator and the password is myerppass

i’m her for your questions
good luck everyone

Hi @Mestoof

Works nicely for me, thanks for the guide. Ive adjust here and there in terms of when to su and not, but overall the steps are the same… Thnx

Kind regards

bench start

So did this …

[3792] [ERROR] Procfile does not exist or is not a file

[Mestoof]

you should install node js before installing YARN
Now you have problems with YARN
if you tape
yarn --version
you will see an error

[rohitbanerjee]

@sebinmichael helped compile a better manual installation notes, from the discussion points on Unable to Install ERPNext 12 (Easy Install Script) - #15 by sebinmichael

He graciously shared them with me offline for me to work on it further … Here is the code

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y
adduser USER
usermod -aG sudo USER
apt install build-essential software-properties-common -y
apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0xF1656F24C74CD1D8
apt install dirmngr curl -y
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 0xF1656F24C74CD1D8
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64,arm64,i386,ppc64el] http://ftp.cc.uoc.gr/mirrors/mariadb/repo/10.4/ubuntu xenial main"
sudo apt update
apt install mariadb-client mariadb-server -y

---

----- Configuration MariaDb -----

nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf

===== Edit MariaDb configuration =====
==> search for this line and add #

#skip-external-locking

==> search for this line and change 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0

bind-address = 0.0.0.0

==> under [mysqld] add this lines, in the end of [mysql]

innodb-file-format=barracuda
innodb-file-per-table=1
innodb-large-prefix=1
character-set-client-handshake = FALSE
character-set-server = utf8mb4
collation-server = utf8mb4_unicode_ci

==>under [mysql] add this line

default-character-set = utf8mb4

---

systemctl restart mariadb
systemctl enable mariadb
mysql_secure_installation

---

==>put Y for all the question, the script will ask you for mysql root password

---

MariaDB Credentials
mysql-user: root
mysql-pass: MYSQLPASS

*** Test MariaDb ***

mysql -u root -p
\q

*** Test MariaDb with FRAPPE USER ***

su - USER
mysql -u root -p

---

----- create database ERPNEXT with Frappe user-----

create database erpnext;
show databases;
\q

----- installation nginx -----

sudo su
apt install nginx -y
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo bash -
apt install nodejs -y
npm install npm -g

------- installation yarn -------
NB: make sure that the installation is good

curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | apt-key add - && echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list && apt-get update && apt-get install yarn
apt install redis-server wkhtmltopdf git-core python-pip -y
pip install --upgrade setuptools
apt-get install python2.7-dev libmysqlclient-dev -y
pip install MySQL-python --no-use-wheel
pip install python-dateutil==2.1
apt install supervisor -y

The next step is a creation of a swap file which was very useful in my case since I was using a VPS with just 1 GB of RAM. If you have more RAM, you can ignore this for now. If not, do it, because otherwise the next step of bench init will stall due to lack of memory and you’ll keep wondering why it’s taking so long

fallocate -l 1G /swapfile
chmod 600 /swapfile
mkswap /swapfile
swapon /swapfile

==> now we will use lower user

su - USER
cd
git clone https://github.com/frappe/bench bench-repo
sudo pip install -e bench-repo
bench init --frappe-branch version-12 --python /usr/bin/python2.7 frappe-bench && cd frappe-bench

==> now you should open two SSH sesion, one for the installation and the other one for starting bench
==> in ssh sesion two

su - USER
cd
cd frappe-bench
bench start

==> in the sesion one you should be in frappe-bench directory

bench get-app erpnext https://github.com/frappe/erpnext

==> MYERPNEXT.LOCAL is the name of your site
==> erpnext is the name of the database
==> MYSQLPASS is the password you tape it after mysql_secure_installation
==> ERPNEXTPASS is your admin password, you will use it in the browser

bench new-site MYERPNEXT.LOCAL --db-name erpnext --mariadb-root-password MYSQLPASS --admin-password ERPNEXTPASS --install-app erpnext --verbose --force
sudo bench setup production USER
sudo systemctl reload nginx
sudo reboot

su - USER
sudo supervisorctl stop all
sudo supervisorctl start all
pip install -U pyopenssl
bench config dns_multitenant on
sudo nano /home/USER/frappe-bench/sites/currentsite.txt

DELETE ALL CONTENTS FOR DNS MULTITENANCY

sudo bench setup lets-encrypt MYERPNEXT.LOCAL
bench setup nginx
sudo service nginx reload

Don’t forget to access website settings and disable signups, etc.
That’s about it. Now you should have a production ERPNext 12 running with https and you’re ready to do business

However, I still kee[ getting errors with permissions for mysql or redis

[sebinmichael]

Please post the errors you are facing along with any traceback and we will be more than happy to help you fix them.

@Mestoof

----- create an user named FRAPPE -----

this is not a good practice. “Frappe” as a username ranks very high for hacking attempts. So ideally the frappe user has a different username which is harder to guess

[alpresidente]

this progresses well until the bench bit (same old story!) but there are some errors below… this is better than my efforts so far so i will continue! (this is following instructions above for ubuntu 18)

redis.exceptions.ConnectionError: Error 111 connecting to localhost:11000. Connection refused.

This is exactly where I’m still stuck now . However, when I ping the server IP, it somehow displays the ERPNext login screen. I’m concerned whether to trust that the application went well (no hidden surprise later …) for a production environment.

Sporking Bench: New tools for installing ERPNext

ERPNext Community, I will skip all introduction, and get straight to the point: The current Installation process is awful, embarrassing, and a barrier to ERPNext growth and success. My words should not surprise you. Many of you personally experienced the pain of ERPNext Installation. Last Friday, I quickly examined the 7 prior days of forum threads. I found 28 separate threads where people struggled with Installation issues. Those were only the easily-found posts. How many if I’d really …

[Mestoof]

open two terminal
1- for Bench start
2- for bench install

[fnrfarid]

Successfully completed these method. But I’m getting these.

Shouldn’t I get stable/master version?

[flexy2ky]

I was able to install using the easy install script on GCP, AWS and DigitalOcean. But installation failed on Interserver due to permission issues. One consistent failure though across board is when i used the --user flag. It always failed when i did that so installing without the --user flag installs into a frappe user directory successfully.

[fnrfarid]

I tried without user flag and failed on AWS EC2. Could you share your steps? Thanks

[Tripti.Sharma]

I have these following steps for installation erpnext on aws .Check if it is helpful for you.

Cloud Service: Amazon AWS
Instance Type: t2.micro
Instance OS: Ubuntu 18.04
Prerequisites: Installed virtual server in a Linux environment, preferable Ubuntu
visit Tutorial: Get started with Amazon EC2 Linux instances - Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud

Part 1: Installing the cloud instance
-this is shortly go through how to install the cloud instance

1) Log into Amazon AWS (console.aws.amazon.com)
2) Create an account if you have not already
3) Click EC2, this is the service we will be using
4) Under the Create Instance section click the Launch Instance button
5) Select the Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS (HVM), SSD Volume Type or similar
6) Click Review and Launch
    *we are using the t2.medium which is default
    *customize the instance. the operating system is the important characteristic
7) Click Launch after reviewing the instance. Make sure it is as requested
8) A popup should come up titled Select an existing key pair or create a new key pair
    *choose an existing key pair. for this example, we will assume you do not have one. follow the following:
        1) Choose Create a new key pair from the first drop down menu
        2) Name the Key pair name pem_key
        3) IMPORTANT: Click Download Key Pair
            * without it we cannot login
        4) Click Launch Instances
5) Click View Instances after reviewing the Launch Status page
6) You should now be on the Instances tab on the EC2 Dashboard. Notice the table and specifically the Status Checks column
7) Wait until there is a green check in the Status Check column that indicated the instance is ready
* You have now created the virtual server for your site instance

Part 2: SSH Information
-this will go over how to use SSH with your new virtual server
Prerequisites: Completed Part 1, Linux environment. You can use puTTY for windows but the guide will use Ubuntu

1) Open up terminal (shortcut: ctrl + alt + t)
2) Navigate to where you downloaded the ssh key (enter ls to see current directory and cd [file] to access a file)
3) Open up the Amazon AWS EC2 Dashboard and make sure you are on the Instances tab
    -we will now get the connection string. for experienced users, you can skip this
    1) Click on the virtual instance you would like to use your site on
    2) On the top bar, there should be a button called Connect. Click Connect
    3) In the Example section there is a bold string, it should look like this:
        ssh -i "example_key.pem" ubuntu@ec2-52-24-43-53.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com
    4) Copy this string and go back to the terminal
4) Paste the string (Paste in terminal: Ctrl + Shift + Z)
5) Press enter to connect
    note: there may be an error that will say: WARNING UNPROTECTED PRIVATE KEY FILE, follow these steps to 'protect' it
    1) Type in the following command to change the permissions of our key file (YOUR_KEY.pem)
        chmod 400 YOUR_KEY.pem
        *note that the 400 is a strict case, a higher number will be more lenient
6) We have now connected to our virtual instance using ssh

Part 3: Create a User and use SFTP
-this will create a user for proper bench installation and make sure we can sftp into it for easier editing
Prerequisites: Part 1, 2 completed, SFTP client like FileZilla

1) Connect to instance via SSH
2) You might be the user ubuntu, we will now create a new user. go to root user by typing in the following command:
    sudo su -
3) Set root password by typing in the following command (makes instance less secure)
    passwd
4) Type in the following command where [name] is your name
    adduser [name]
5) The terminal will ask for a series of questions for log information.
6) Add the user into the sudoer group by entering the following command
    sudo adduser [name] sudo
7) Set the password to the new user by entering in the following command (makes instance less secure)
    sudo passwd [name]
8) Allow SSH Password Authentication by following these steps:
    1) Go to the root directoy of the OS (you can do this by entering the command "cd ..")
    2) Type in the following command to navigate to the correct directory:
        cd etc/ssh
    3) Edit the sshd_config file through the following steps
        1) enter the following command
            vi sshd_config
        2) type the following to go into the editor (works like a text edito)
            i
        3) find where it says PasswordAuthentication and change it so that it shows the following:
            PasswordAuthentication yes
        *) Also change PermitRootLogin without-password to 
            PermitRootLogin yes
        4) Click the Esc button to get out of edit mode
        5) Enter the following to write and save the changes
            :w
        6) Enter the following to exit the vi editor
            :q
9) Open up your SFTP Client and login using the new user you created. The following uses FileZilla:
    1) Open up the Site Manager by click File -> Site Manager
    2) Click New Site
    3) In the General Tab:
        1) Host is the Public DNS of your instance. This can be found by going to the EC2 Dashboard Instances Tab
        2) You can leave the port  and the comments blank
        3) The Protocol is SFTP
        4) The Logon Type is "Ask for password"
        5) The user is root
    4) Click Connect
    5) Enter in the password
        * If there is an unkown host key warning, you can ignore it

Part 4: Install ERPNext on instance
-this will install the ERPNext software on the virtual server which is what your site uses

1) Open up terminal and ssh into your instance, login to the new user by entering the following:
    su [name]
2) Type in the following command to download the source and execute

    wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/frappe/bench/master/playbooks/install.py

3. Type in the following command to install
   For developer setup:
   sudo python install.py --develop
   For production setup:
   sudo python install.py --production

4. Take note of the MariaDB, Frappe, and Administrator password

5. Type in the following command
   bench new-site sitename

6. Enter in the MariaDB Password when it asks for the MySQL password

7. Type in the following command
   bench --site [YOUR SITE NAME] install-app erpnext

8. Type in the following command for multitenant setup
   bench config dns_multitenant on
   bench new-site site2name(eg:example.com)
   bench setup nginx
   sudo service nginx reload
   *) Note : For “DNS based multitenancy”, currentsite.txt in frappe-bench/sites/ should be empty.
   *) Note that we are done if everything was operational, now we have to open up the port from amazon and for domain setup go to route53.
   9) Go to the Amazon EC2 Instance Page
   10) Click on your instance and on the Description tab on the bottom, take not of the Security Groups
   11) Click on the Security Groups on the left hand side
   12) Click on the Security Group for your instance
   13) Click on the Inbound tab for your instance
   14) Click Edit
   15) Add a Custom TCP Rule for Port 8000 and Source 0.0.0.0/0

@Tripti.Sharma

Part 4: Install ERPNext on instance
-this will install the ERPNext software on the virtual server which is what your site uses

I guess You’d have to run these commands first.
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt-get install python-minimal
sudo apt-get install build-essential python-setuptools

Right?

[Tripti.Sharma]

There is no need to run those commands.
When we are running following script :-
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/frappe/bench/master/playbooks/install.py

[fnrfarid]

I tried it without installing python minimal; got an error while running install.py --production, saying can not find install.py

[fnrfarid]

I think easy installation is fixed now!

[Tripti.Sharma]

Congrats!
how you installed?
