There is the Python program named 'bench', which is a standalone application.
When you install the Frappe Framework, a directory is created that is (usually) named 'frappe-bench'
To know for certain you’re in the right one, examine its subdirectories. You should see ‘apps’, ‘config’, ‘env’, ‘logs’ and more.
The error message means your current, working directory should be 'frappe-bench' (or the equivalent, if you happened to name it something different when you installed ERPNext)
Hello… this is curious. The frappe-bench folder in my case is named erpnext.
I tried to update erpnext from v12 to v13, so first I ran pip3 install --upgrade erpnext, however, an error telling that “ERROR: No matching distribution found for erpnext”, however, when I used “pip3 install --upgrade frappe-bench”, it did not show any erro, showing thisr:
[bench@node4037 erpnext]$ pip3 install --upgrade frappe-bench

ERROR: pip's dependency resolver does not currently take into account all the packages that are installed. This behaviour is the source of the following dependency conflicts.

Why is this?
by the way, if you see last messages:
ERROR: pip's dependency resolver does not currently take into account all the packages that are installed. This behaviour is the source of the following dependency conflicts.
bench 5.0.0 requires Jinja2==2.10.3, but you have jinja2 2.11.3 which is incompatible.

i don’t understand why that error is shown since I have bench 5.5.0.
I am running this command as bench user because when running as root, a warning was shown.
For the purposes of this discussion, think of ERPNext as 2 separate “installed programs”:
Bench
Frappe Framework + ERPNext
Upgrading Bench
To upgrade the Python program named ‘Bench’ you would run this:
sudo -H pip3 install --upgrade frappe-bench
That command downloads the latest Bench from PyPi.org, and upgrades your installed version. It’s usually harmless to do this. Bench stands alone, and doesn’t share dependencies with the rest of Frappe and ERPNext.
Upgrading Frappe + ERPNext
To update this, do the following:
Change your current, working directory to 'frappe-bench' (or in your case, sounds like it’s named 'erpnext')
Run this command using Bench:
bench update
This does a ton of things.
Pulls the latest Frappe and ERPNext code from GitHub.
Installs Python dependencies.
Installs Node.js dependencies
Synchronizes your SQL database to the new schema.
Finally, this error here:
ERROR: pip's dependency resolver does not currently take into account all the packages that are installed. This behaviour is the source of the following dependency conflicts.
bench 5.0.0 requires Jinja2==2.10.3, but you have jinja2 2.11.3 which is incompatible.
Successfully installed Jinja2-2.11.3
The error is because Bench 5.0.0 wants to see Jinja2 2.10.3 on your machine. But it didn’t find that. Instead, it found something newer: Jinja2 2.11.3
Pip is warning you that maybe Bench will have problems. Because your Jinja2 is newer than what Bench v5 was coded with.
Realistically, it’s probably fine. That’s a very minor difference in versions (no pun intended). Unless Bench crashes when you execute it, you’re probably okay as-is.
Hello… thanks for clarifying further. Now, when running bench update, this message appears:
[bench@node4037 erpnext]$ bench update
WARN: bench is installed in editable mode!
This is not the recommended mode of installation for production. Instead, install the package from PyPI with: `pip install frappe-bench`

* branch version-12 -> FETCH_HEAD
WARN: shallow_clone is set in your bench config.
However without passing the --reset flag, your repositories will be unshallowed.
To avoid this, cancel this operation and run `bench update --reset`.
Consider the consequences of `git reset --hard` on your apps before you run that.
To avoid seeing this warning, set shallow_clone to false in your common_site_config.json
When running with reset parameter, nothing happens. That message appears always. Every command I run I got different strange messages, but at least I am sure the cause of the messages is not due to running the commands from the wrong directories.
