Followed the this guide: Installation

but when doing ļæ¼bench startļæ¼ it throws an error.

Installation guide require more proper steps. New Users faces many problem because of many other error.

There should be one line script or something.

You will try give commands .
1.sudo apt update
2.sudo apt install supervisor -y.

  1. bench start

Didn’t Work!

Try uv tool install honcho

I fixed this in

It was released earlier today as a part of bench v5.29.0.

Now uv tool install frappe-bench works without needing to pass --with-executables-from or installing honcho separately using uv tool install honcho.
