Im importing virtualized service wiith VIRTUALBOX with 1 Gbite RAM.

I was expecting a better behabiour , at least at the begining.

This is the error message:

Welcome @fgarcia

This forum has much to offer in support of ERPNext and your experience with it

Allso tryed the Bitmami virtual machine with bad results.

Desk is not showing anything.

This seems to be much more difficut than odoo.

@fgarcia, I just did an install using the ERPNext_production.ova and there were no issues.

I would however, suggest the following:

  1. Increase the memory in the VM settings from 512 to 1024 or even 2048
  2. Change the network from NAT to Bridged Host
  3. Don’t update, Yet!
  4. When you start the setup, begin with English then after the install is complete use the language you want. (Note: this issue/bug has been fixed in the latest version if I am not mistaken)
  5. You will end up with following version
  • ERPNext: v7.2.14
  • Frappe Framework: v7.2.12

It looks like you had selected you a different language to English, which is probably why the UnicodeEncodeError is coming up.

Actually, its far simpler than Odoo. I’ve done numerous Odoo installs and they are painful :slight_smile:
