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
i tried and get this error- frappe@Rahul:~$ sudo apt install python3.10-dev
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree… Done

python3.10-dev is already the newest version (3.10.14-1+noble2).

shall i install ubuntu 22.04 and then try from start ?
Thank You
I believe there is no need to reinstall Ubuntu from scratch if you are still facing this issue, so try starting over.
just wanted to install erpnext v14 in ubuntu and run on local server for education, but stuck at this issue
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.
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
i tried but now getting this error- frappe@Rahul:~$ bench init frappe-bench

ERROR: There was a problem while creating frappe-bench
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
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
Hi Faris, Let me hijack you, I did all that and got an error. I posted here, Compose Fail To Start When Installing From Frappe-Manager on WSL2 Ubuntu 22.04
Hi @rs115199789 I exactly used the same steps , Install frappe framework on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and it worked for me with errors.
@Faris_Alsolmi okay thanks alot for the guide ill try this if my ubuntu 22 fails, i re-install ubuntu 22 and tried to install erp, but when i try to create site it gives me error, you can check here- Bench new site create error
@rs115199789
did you use the script?, i used it many times and did not have any problem!.
@flexy2ky is the script creator, he is helpful, may help you in this situation.
i installed 3rd time and now it’s working fine , i was just testing , and will switch to windows again after sometime.
Thanks
Great to hear that good luck with frappe 
@rs115199789 Happy to hear so, Good Luck with Frappe ! 
Please if any of the above replies was the solution please indicate it so that others will not stuck at some points with frappe installation, or if it was different way could you please post it and mark it as solution. 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.
Easy Fix
Open Terminal
Run
sudo nano /etc/pip.conf
Add following line:
[global]
break-system-packages = true
