Steps to install ERPNext without bench

Frappe Framework
22

When I run this inside a docker container, I get the following error:

Command:

root@0ea3c762f393:/frappe/sites# python ../apps/frappe/frappe/utils/bench_helper.py frappe

Main error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '-e frappe'

Full output:

root@0ea3c762f393:/frappe/sites# python ../apps/frappe/frappe/utils/bench_helper.py frappe version

  • don’t use container as root
  • use ./env/bin/python instead of python
  • use bench command wrapper instead.
