Need proper step by step guide to install erpnext for novice

Hi All,

I wonder is there anyone who could help me by mentioning step by step procedure for installing erpnext in ubuntu ?? I am a novice , new to ubuntu and erpnext as well . I followed step by step procedure mentioned in github . Tried the production setup , then completely formatted the hard disk and installed dev setup , again formatted and tried installing manually , everything failed . I formatted my hard disk around twenty times still getting errors during installation . Everytime some or the other error pops out and makes me frustrated . Please someone atleast share a video link. What is the difference between a production and development setup ? Everytime I install frappe in a clean freshly installed ubuntu 14.04 I will get SSL insecure platform warning .Came across few workaroundsfrom stackoverflow but nothing helped . I am really depressed is this erpnext and frappe only for ubuntu experts ?

Hi is really not novice friendly forum wink:

the best step by step i found is this http://www.dalescott.net/2014/11/20/install-erpnext-on-bare-metal-ubuntu/

use ubuntu 64 server rub apt-get update and apt-get upgrade before start the install script

i dont get any issue

From the fresh install, run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade, create a non-root sudo user, then go from there as the install script suggessts

Thanks for the link , everytime after clean install of ubuntu and running those commands , I will follow the script mentioned in the forum and i will get this error

@ragav it is not the installers fault, but that of the network. Your server isn’t able to connect to ubuntu.com!

Thank you so much for the info Anand .
