Hi all, with the entire back and forth that happened while i was installing ERPNext as a Novice, i have listed the final steps that worked for me on Google Cloud Instance right upto getting an SSL for the app. Sharing it for greater benefit, hoping it would help others as well.
Please feel free to comment on observations.
Thanks to @msalim79 @Tech_Hack_IT for their help.
sudo apt install git
Using snapd and certbot, how to renew the certs?
The last time I renew I think I got error. Sorry I’m not having my computer now so can’t elaborate the error.
Hi ,
I installed successfully on Ubuntu 20.04 using just the following steps:
Install Python3.7
Make sure all necessary packages are installed:
apt install python3-minimal build-essential python3-setuptools
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/frappe/bench/develop/install.py
python3 install.py --production --version 13 --python python3.7 --verbose
I used the --verbose flag so I could tell what was going on during the installation and easily pin-point any errors
That’s it!
sudo certbot renew
Thanks will test …
@Aditya_Bagarka, from a security perspective try to avoid the user frappe. Every installation guide I have seen so far is using frappe as a user… that becomes a bit too common and easy and can be the source of security breach. Don’t give the other side an easy fight 
Please, someone can help me with the issue below, I have v13 installed and can’t execute the schedule, My Email Campaign doesn’t update and the e-mails are not being sent.
Below, is the image of an email campaign I’m at the finish date already, but the status don’t change.
I tried to force schedule with the command below:
bench execute erpnext.crm.doctype.email_campaign.email_campaign.set_email_campaign_status
but nothing is happening.
Error :
Command ‘git --version’ returned non-zero exit status 127
ERROR: there was a problem while creating myfrappe
Do you wan to rollback this change ? [Y/N ]
why … ?
Thank you, after spending a day on trying to install, i got it working by following your steps to the T.

Rolling back Bench “myfrappe”

Hi,
@adals, I must say, that this is the only guide that has worked on me for installing on Ubuntu 20.04.
And I have also learned a lot during the installation phase, i.e. understanding what is being done and installed at each step.
There is only one query I have. After the successful installation we have to manually run the command: bench start
Is there a way where we can make bench auto-start upon OS boot? That’ll be really helpful
Thanks
I think what you want is to run the following command at the end:
sudo bench setup production [USER]
(where [USER] is the username you use to log into the server at the command line)
That should put everything in place to have everything start up automatically. Just remember to reboot he server after you have run the command to make sure the server automatically startes everything even after a reboot.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Yes, i’ve already run that command and also rebooted the server, but bench did not start up automatically. I still had to start it up manually
I have the same error.
How did you resolve it?
I’m trying to install Frappe latest version with a slight modification of installing node v14+ instead of 12+ in Step 4.
No issues until Step 20.
But at Step 21, I’m facing this issue:

should I run bench start in a separate terminal before Step 21?
got this issue resolved by running bench start in an another terminal.

finally got to resolve the issue by running bench migrate and got frappe up & running after so many days!
thank you . i just replaced these commands because i got error that can’t create a folder .
