[Tutorial] How To install ERPNext V12 on windows 10 home / Pro WSL ubuntu 18.04LTS

nmami · September 21, 2019, 3:41pm

APPLIES TO
ERPNext V12, Frappe 12 or later
Applies to windows home 10 build 18362 or higher, windows Pro, WSL ubuntu 18.04 LTS

GOAL
Install ERPNext V12 on windows home 10 WSL ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

SOLUTION
1- check your windwos 10 build number, should be >= 18362
win +R, cmd, ver

2 - install ubuntu 18.04 LTS WSL on windows10, follow steps under this page How to run Linux binaries natively in Windows 10 - NotebookCheck.net News

2- execute below command using your unix user (in my case I have created nofal user)

nofal@LAPTOP-5F23F7J8:~$ sudo apt-get update
nofal@LAPTOP-5F23F7J8:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade
frappe@LAPTOP-5F23F7J8:~/frappe-bench$ lsb_release -a – should get like below result
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS
Release: 18.04
Codename: bionic
Reboot WSL
Just open a cmd window as adminstrator and run these commands to restart it.
net stop LxssManager
net start LxssManager
restart windows
Launch ubuntu as non root user:
sudo mkdir -p /run/dbus
sudo service dbus start
sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools python3-minimal redis-server build-essential
sudo adduser frappe – can be any name mycase I have used frappe as a user
sudo usermod -aG sudo frappe
sudo su frappe
cd ~
sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/frappe/bench/master/playbooks/install.py
sudo -H python3 install.py --production --site frappe.local --user frappe

This will install the ERPNEXT.

cd frappe-bench
bench update

connect using url http://localhost

Important Info:
Windows home 10 or windows Pro 10 build 18362 or higher is important,

Note that I failed many time installing ERPNext, each time I restart from an WSL ubuntu fresh (under apps & features, select ubuntu, advanced options, reset)
After windows restart, you need to start below services manually:

frappe@LAPTOP-5F23F7J8:~/frappe-bench$ sudo service dbus start
[sudo] password for frappe:

Starting system message bus dbus

frappe@LAPTOP-5F23F7J8:~/frappe-bench$ sudo service supervisor start

frappe@LAPTOP-5F23F7J8:~/frappe-bench$ sudo service mysql start

Starting MariaDB database server mysqld [ OK ]
frappe@LAPTOP-5F23F7J8:~/frappe-bench$ sudo service nginx start
Starting nginx nginx [ OK ]
frappe@LAPTOP-5F23F7J8:~/frappe-bench$ sudo service redis-server start
Starting redis-server: redis-server.

to check supervisor status:

frappe@LAPTOP-5F23F7J8:~/frappe-bench$ sudo supervisorctl status
frappe-bench-redis:frappe-bench-redis-cache RUNNING pid 73, uptime 4:40:13
frappe-bench-redis:frappe-bench-redis-queue RUNNING pid 72, uptime 4:40:13
frappe-bench-redis:frappe-bench-redis-socketio RUNNING pid 74, uptime 4:40:13
frappe-bench-web:frappe-bench-frappe-web RUNNING pid 2984, uptime 2:00:18
frappe-bench-web:frappe-bench-node-socketio RUNNING pid 2986, uptime 2:00:18
frappe-bench-workers:frappe-bench-frappe-default-worker-0 RUNNING pid 2961, uptime 2:00:19
frappe-bench-workers:frappe-bench-frappe-long-worker-0 RUNNING pid 2962, uptime 2:00:19
frappe-bench-workers:frappe-bench-frappe-schedule RUNNING pid 2960, uptime 2:00:19
frappe-bench-workers:frappe-bench-frappe-short-worker-0 RUNNING pid 2963, uptime 2:00:19

to check all service status:

frappe@LAPTOP-5F23F7J8:~/frappe-bench$ service --status-all

[-] means not started
[+] means started

to start specific service as root or not:

frappe@LAPTOP-5F23F7J8:~/frappe-bench$ sudo service nginx start

to check

frappe@LAPTOP-5F23F7J8:~/frappe-bench$ sudo service nginx status

nginx is running

HI sir!
Thanks for the tutorial, but i am having trouble in step 2, in step 2 you ran first two commands with nofal while the third one with frappe user, can you explain the matter a bit?
how can i navigate to that frappe? also when I run that command i am getting this:
-bash: /frappe-bench$: No such file or directory

2- execute below command using your unix user (in my case I have created nofal user)

nofal@LAPTOP-5F23F7J8:~$ sudo apt-get update
nofal@LAPTOP-5F23F7J8:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade
frappe@LAPTOP-5F23F7J8:~/frappe-bench$ lsb_release -a – should get like below result

nmami · February 13, 2020, 8:38am

you are right, should be a command like below,

nofal@LAPTOP-5F23F7J8:/mnt/c/Users/naouf$ lsb_release -a

I recommend to repear steps from the beginning and reset wsl also, yes it’s hard and time consuming, but it works on myblaptop

Unfortunately Mr. Nmami, I get the following error every time I implement the “sudo -H python3 install.py --production --site frappe.local --user frappe”. The error shows in WSL as follows:

frappe@DESKTOP-VLE6GTJ:~$ sudo -H python3 install.py --production --site frappe.local --user frappe

current_dist = platform.dist()
AttributeError: module ‘platform’ has no attribute ‘dist’

Any fixes for this, kindly?

the only way I got it working, after many hours was as sudo user frappe:

git clone GitHub - frappe/bench: CLI to manage Multi-tenant deployments for Frappe apps (bench dir)
cd bench
sudo python3 install.py --production --container --user frappe

…

Bench + Frappe + ERPNext has been successfully installed!

Looks the install script don’t work (anymore) out of context. It miss the configs for ansible playbook

Can you elaborate more on your answer? I have seen other members using your method. They clone bench directly from git, but I am not following exactly.

Where should I close that git?
why bench should be cloned only?
Should we clone it inside “frappe-bench” directory? or inside “~/.bench/” directory.
