First tried the manual install as per GitHub. That failed due to:
https://github.com/frappe/erpnext/issues/15747
Was good to see the ERP next guys get onto that fast. Will revisit later. ERPnext screens really broken with 404s due to js issues.
Someone suggested that I dont use dev. So followed these instructions
cd my-bench
bench switch-to-master
This should switch both frape and erpnext. Its said switch worked but the same issue as above occurred. Not convinced that frappe did revert to master.
So tried this:
cd my-bench\app
sudo rm -r frapp*
bench get-app erpnext GitHub - frappe/frappe: Low code web framework for real world applications, in Python and Javascript --branch master
That appered to work but now have new error.

Error: Cannot find module ābabel-coreā
Ok, so I gave up on this approach, will google for that later, tried the simple install script. Made sure the dependencies were there. got this error:
āASCII as encodingā āYou might be able to resolve your issue by exporting theā, "following environment variables: export LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 export LANG=C.UTF-8. Will look into that.
Any help would be appreciated. happy to work on some good ubuntu 18 documentation. A few of the guides I found were very rough. one even managed to make a bench called erpnext and really screw up things.
