Installation Error on Ubuntu 16.04

I’ve followed the Manual Install procedure at GitHub - frappe/bench: CLI to manage Multi-tenant deployments for Frappe apps and get as far a bench init and get the following error:

$ bench init frappe-bench && cd frappe-bench
Already using interpreter /usr/bin/python

Why not just run the Easy Install?

We need to install to a specific disk partition

I’d recommend installing on a clean system to prevent issues. However, run frappe-bench/env/bin/pip install -e frappe-bench/apps/frappe to manually install frappe requirements without the -q flag so you can see the whole traceback

Easy install also does not seem to work. Will create a new thread for that
