I used the easy installation install.py script and It worked in my last installation and when i try to install in another VM i get this error.

TASK [mariadb : apt-get install] ****************************************************

You need to install the relevant library eg. “python-mysqldb”

Hi… thanks. Btw isnt the install.py script suppose to install everything automatically. My previous install i only had to run the script and installed without any issue and this time i followed the same steps but i get this error.

Although the scripts DO (normally) install each of the required items, it is possible that one or other aspect slips through the net. I don’t consider myself adequately expert enough to know how or why this happens though.
I prefer to open/copy the scripts and run them semi-manually line-by-line, which let’s me see what’s going on, learn, and also notice any possible errors that can happen along the way.
I have found that in most cases, if something fails i is because I skipped a prerequisite step or forgot to install something that is actually needed

Hi. Thanks for the info i was able to install erpnext by installing the missing packages, really appreciate it.
