Thanks. I ended up rebuilding the droplet because i installed it in ‘editable mode’ by mistake.
Same issue as this one -
This week I tried three methods of installing (easy install script, docker installation and manual)
Easy install is not maintained and gives a lot of errors. Failed to install.
Docker seems good if you are on low budget system. But documentation can be improved for non-linux users. Was able to install it but not use it (difficult to understand Traefik routing. I am sure this can be solved easily)
Manual install using @bkm 's method. By far the best documented step by step installation with explanation i could find on the internet.
Now figuring out how to use ERPNext.
