The Hitchhiker's Guide to Installing Frappé on Linux Failed:

Frappe Framework
1

I am following “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Installing Frappé on Linux”

All steps worked fine until I ran the following command.
bench init --frappe-branch master frappe-bench

I have following versions:
Node: v11.12.0
NPM: 6.9.0

After the repo is cloned I get the following error. What is causing this issue and how it can be resolved?

I’d really recommend using yarn personally, It worked ok for me, when using it.

Great. Yarn did the trick but now I am trapped into another problem .

Now when I start the bench it says.
[ERROR] Procfile does not exist or is not a file

Yarn did installed the dependencies but how do I get Procfile?
I only have the following files and directories in my frappe-bench directory.

apps
config
env
logs
node_modules
package.json
sites
yarn.lock
4

bench setup Procfile

Thank you @root13F

I did tried that but that was also throwing some weird errors.

I reinstalled the bench, changed my node version
Node: v11.12.0 to v8.15.1
NPM: 6.9.0 to 6.4.1

and then tried bench init again, that solved my issued.
