Installation error erpnext - easy installation

I get the following error while trying to install erpnext easy installation (in ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04 x64 vultr servers)

raise CalledProcessError(retcode, cmd)
subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command ‘[‘ansible-playbook’, ‘-c’, ‘local’, ‘site.yml’, ‘-vvvv’, ‘-e’, ‘@/tmp/extra_vars.json’, ‘–become’, ‘–become-user=frappe’]’ returned non-zero exit status 2

Please help!

Probably permissions. Is the install user a sudoer?

Don’t understand please explain some more. The command ran with sudo. Are you saying frappe user need to be sudo?

Try this for now,
I’m testing my solution and it worked fine on ubuntu 16 server,
didn’t try it on Clean Ubuntu 18

python install.py --develop --version 11 --user frappe --repo-url https://github.com/ammarhararah/bench.git

I have made some changes on my fork of bench repo to adapt with ansible version,
since the old yml files of the bench are ready only for ansible <= 2.5
and the bench automatically installs last version (2.9)

bench fork link

Edit: Of course you can specify the version you want as usual, the necessary part is this flag

--repo-url https://github.com/ammarhararah/bench.git

Or Try this solution:

I tried this method, erpnext does get installed. Then i setup production, and i get the following error

What should I do now?

bench --site site1.local reinstall
