Hii @rs115199789

This error is caused by a Python compatibility issue where the version is higher than your current Python version, which is 3.6. For the next/development version of Frappe/ERPNext, 3.10 is the recommended and required version. For more information, visit: build!: Bump minimum Python version to 3.10 by gavindsouza · Pull Request #17355 · frappe/frappe · GitHub

To install a higher version of Python, use the following command:
sudo apt install python3.10-dev

@rs115199789 What version of Ubuntu do you use ?

10

@Faris_Alsolmi
Brother I’m using Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

11

I believe there is no need to reinstall Ubuntu from scratch if you are still facing this issue, so try starting over.

12

just wanted to install erpnext v14 in ubuntu and run on local server for education, but stuck at this issue

13

if you have any other solutions do let me know thank you and yes I’m still facing this issues, everything is installed perfectly only this pip is creating issue, I’m not much into codes.

14

I was facing the same issue , then I installed frappe inside the python env,

cd frappe-bench

then:

source frappe-bench/bin/activate

then initiate your bench inside the python environment itself:

bench init --frappe-branch version-14 frappe-bench

I hope this could help you. Thank you

Did you switch to the python env? before you initiate your bench, the prompt in your temrinal will look like this :

(frappe-bench) frappe@Rahul: /frappe-bench$

then Initiate your bench:

bench init frappe-bench

Also, it seems that your node is less than 18 version, try update your nod and yarn versions from steps in this guide Frappe-ERPNext-Version-15–in-Ubuntu-22.04

espcially theses commoands:

nvm install 20
sudo apt-get install npm
sudo npm install -g yarn
18

@Faris_Alsolmi

again new error- frappe@Rahul:~$ source frappe-bench/bin/activate
(frappe-bench) frappe@Rahul:~$ bench init --frappe-branch version-14 frappe-bench
ERROR: Bench instance already exists at frappe-bench

I will download 22.04 and try to install erp again, if you have any solution or guide do share .

thank you

It was a issue with my python and Ubuntu version and while installing the app I tried to create user and then did something wrong with the path I guess but then I saw the video tutorial of @TRACKOMATIC_INDIA as earlier it was quite helpful and boom again I’m able to install the same.

Thanks to all of you.
