Unable to install a custom app

pythonpen · May 24, 2020, 1:02pm

I am trying to install a custom app that was built by another team into my bench using the bench command to install-app

However installation fails giving the following error: (any help is appreciate to get this installed)

This may help Frappe error when running commands

Now it’s a different problem -
bench install-app [appname]
gives the error:
Could not fin app “appname”

I pulled the app successfully using bench get-app

Any points on how I can install the custom apps?

Try this:

frappe@ubuntu1804lts:~/frappe-bench$ bench list-apps
frappe
erpnext

frappe@ubuntu1804lts:~/frappe-bench$ bench install-app --help
Usage: bench  install-app [OPTIONS] [APPS]...

You switch to stable version of ERPNext, install the app and then upgrade to the v13. I’ve recently had lots of issues with some custom scripts on v13 which work just fine on v12.

Also, when u want to install apps, you should set the site you want the app installed to. E.g, bench —site mysite —install-app etc…
