Update Guide to install

Install / Update
1

As was suggested in other posts, I have tried to install ERPNext manually, but I am having great difficulty even though I am following step by step the official guides.
In some cases I find Warning and Fatal Error; in another case I arrived at the end, but then ERPNext is not reachable.

Is there an updated guide?

I am starting with a VPS installed at 1and1. This is my VPS configuration.
Xeon E5-2650 2 vCore
2GB RAM
80 GB SSD

I have tried both a minimal installation of Ubuntu 64bit, and with a “1and1 standard” installation with already present the classic applications.
I tried both the 16.04 and the 18.04.

I would prefer to use the 18.04 LTS, but if there are problems of incompatibility I will use the 16.04.
However, most of my tests were done with the 16.04 minimal

I’ve used these guides:
https://github.com/frappe/bench
https://github.com/frappe/erpnext/wiki
https://github.com/frappe/bench/wiki/Install-Erpnext-on-ubuntu-16.04-lts-server
https://github.com/frappe/frappe/wiki/The-Hitchhiker’s-Guide-to-Installing-Frapp%C3%A9-on-Linux-OS

Thanks in advance for the advices

I’m sorry, but even with this there are some warnings and errors.

I tried with a “Minimal” installation of Ubuntu 18.04 and doing the copy paste of your commands.

During the installation of MariaDB the password is not requested, I have to supply it with mysql_secure_installation. I’m sure about password.

With non-root users, such as Bench, the “pip” commands give rights errors to the .config folders. You must use “sudo -H”

At the beginning the 10.0.1 version of pip was installed, but then with the bench command there is the message that you are using version 9.0.3

When I finally run bench new-site and the MySQL Root password request appears, several errors are listed and the process stops.

We have tried 5, FIVE, times from a clean server image and with different MariaDB root passwords and the problem can not be this one.

Frankly speaking, it is the first time that we are in two to work 4 days just to make a first installation of an application. And we have years of experience behind it.
