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.
@revant_one has developed a docker-based deployment/installation of ERPNext without the use of bench altogether …
Another gentleman @brian_pond is working on another alternative for bench, called Weavlo. Looks very ambitious and well thought of …
open two terminal
1- for Bench start
2- for bench install
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.
I tried without user flag and failed on AWS EC2. Could you share your steps? Thanks
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
Type in the following command to install
For developer setup:
sudo python install.py --develop
For production setup:
sudo python install.py --production
Take note of the MariaDB, Frappe, and Administrator password
Type in the following command
bench new-site sitename
Enter in the MariaDB Password when it asks for the MySQL password
Type in the following command
bench --site [YOUR SITE NAME] install-app erpnext
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
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?
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
I tried it without installing python minimal; got an error while running install.py --production, saying can not find install.py 
I think easy installation is fixed now!
Congrats!
how you installed?
Yeah I did. 
Facing a lots of issues after restoring my v10 database there though. But, the installation worked fine.
That step failed here on Ubuntu 18.04.
Solution was to install libssl-dev before:
apt install libssl-dev
After that, it worked.

@Mestoof Hey Buddy,
Thanks for the guide. It Works fine, but regardless of setting up production by stating “sudo bench setup production frappe”, setup installs develop version only. (screenshot below)
How do i get to production version >???
please, help . i have got this error while installing erpnext on my wesbite
that’s the output

any one help please ! al my work has stopped !
your steps was perfect but, a small edit that you should do .
i was facing problem installing erpnext app on the site . erpnext must be version 12 same bench . so i replaced it with this command and it worked very well for me .
$ bench get-app --branch version-12 erpnext https://github.com/frappe/erpnext
i have problem after installation and every thing is fine i can not browse to my web site i think the problem in sites because i get this error when using create new site command 
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘next.hu’ that is my site name
when i navigate to frappe@next:~/frappe-bench$ nano frappe-bench/sites/currentsite.txt
