error with install

[mtas101]

Hello

I encountered an error during installation, even though I followed the steps precisely. Please see:

Is there a solution?

Ubuntu 24.04

@mtas101 The installation failed while it was trying to build the UI artifacts. This error typically surfaces if the minimum system requirements are not met. Frappe typically recommends 2GB RAM but I find that sometimes even 4GB RAM struggles during build sequence. This is not the script but frappe build process and the system requirements so please increase the system resources if you can and try again.

Try 'bench install-app --help' for help.

Error: Please specify --site sitename
An error occurred on line 673 with exit status 0
-bash: pop_var_context: head of shell_variables not a function contex

is the error I'v got.

@toofun666 Did you specify site name during the install process?

[toofun666]

Not yet but I will. Been able to install version-16 without installing Erpnext.

[mtas101]

I tried installing version 15

And this is the error. I tried several ways.

It was temporary error - https://discuss.frappe.io/t/error-coming-while-isntalling-erpnext/160445

It has been fixed in v15-hotfix and I think in a few days it will flow to version-15

I have the same problem.

one workaround is just when the script asks for the site name, open a new terminal and go to the python venv by:

source /home/frappeuser/frappe-bench/env/bin/activate

(optional) Check the Current version:

pip show setuptools

install setuptools vertion 81.0.0

pip install setuptools==81.0.0

then continue with the install script

and it worked fine so far.

I don't know how this will effect updating to future version of erpnext, so make backups if you planning to....

@Chicken0Ghost
Nice workaround 👍

This was a bench error affecting v15 that has been patched by frappe.
