Hi
It seems you are wanting to install ERPNext-V12 on Ubuntu 18.04?

If you are interested, I am using a “manual method” on a VPS at Digital Ocean. I have used the
same method to install about 10 V12 servers and the method works well.

Pleae Note: It is a LONG manual method. You type in the commands one by one so if you are
very carefull like I do and check the commands carefully it can easily take you 2 hours to do
the install.

I am not putting the link just as yet because I have to include my notes of one update that I made. Where an updated version of PIP must be installed.

If you want to try it I can give you th elink together with my notes of the correction.

Although it is a long method, I do like th fact that you can check command-for-command
if things go wrong or not.

I would like to try it.

OK

The actual procedure is on this link …

This is to install V12. It does not work for V13 by simply changing the “12” to a “13”

You will see its pretty comprehensive and even explains at certain points what has happened.
It also gives you guide-lines about the pre-install i.e. creating a user, setting up a firewall etc.

With my first server install I did not pickup the version-problem listed below. SO I assume that
it is a natural result of software moving on in their revision numbers .

I will simply copy and paste my own notes below but I am going to attempt toexplain.
If my explanation is unclear, just yell.

So here goes …
At the begining of step (5) you do the command …

(A)
sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt install … ( edited out rest of command )
This will pass

Then according to the notes, you have to do …

(B)
sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt install

But this (should) fail … incorrect version of PIP. You can read the error message. It even tells
you what to do.

So after you executed (A) and before you do (B), you do …

sudo wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
sudo python3 get-pip.py

Then you just keep on following the instructions and you should be good to go

Have ready before you begin :

a user-name that you can use as ERPNExt-user
password for ERPNExt-user
password for root

I don’t know where you are going to deploy this. If it is on a VPS, I strongly suggest
using an SSH-key. Very soon after creating a VPS on any cloud-based system , you see the
bot-attacks.

Hardware : I am running on a Digital Ocean droplet : 2VCPU + 4G-RAM

DO NOT think you are going to do this before breakfast quickly. Maybe you are a lot
quicker than I am , but I always set aside plenty of time which allows me to observe the
outputs of each command so that I can see that nothing went wrong.

Good luck

Below is a paste of my own notes. Hope it makes sense based on my typing above …

For error at beginning of step 5

do this command:
sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt install -y curl build-essential mariadb-client python3-setuptools python3-dev libffi-dev python3-pip libcurl4 dnsmasq fontconfig git htop libcrypto+±dev libfreetype6-dev liblcms2-dev libwebp-dev libxext6 libxrender1 libxslt1-dev libxslt1.1 libffi-dev ntpdate postfix python3-dev python-tk screen vim xfonts-75dpi xfonts-base zlib1g-dev apt-transport-https libsasl2-dev libldap2-dev libcups2-dev pv libjpeg8-dev libtiff5-dev tcl8.6-dev tk8.6-dev libssl1.0-dev python3-mysqldb libdate-manip-perl logwatch

then do these commands
sudo wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
sudo python3 get-pip.py

then do the next command … and continue as normal
sudo -H python3 -m pip install --upgrade setuptools cryptography psutil

End of my own notes

Check this log file and post its output.
Or, run sudo python3 install.py --production --verbose and post the output.

Hi Camilo,

I think you may be almost there. Try running these commands:

sudo apt-get install curl
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

And go back to your frappe-bench folder and run the install script again and it might just go through.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Jay
