useradd -m -s /bin/bash erpnext
usermod -aG wheel erpnext
sudo chown -R erpnext:erpnext /opt/bench
pip3 install --user frappe-bench
bench init frappe-bench --frappe-branch version-13
sed -i '/web:/ s/$/ --noreload/' Procfile
bench start >/tmp/bench_log &
bench new-site yourhost.example.com
At this point we have a frappe site running - bench start and you will get the website on port 8000. But ERPNext not yet installed. Let's continue
bench get-app erpnext --branch version-13
bench install-app erpnext ( if you have more than one site mention site name like " bench --site site1.local install-app erpnext "
Now you have ERPNext on port 8000. ( http://yourhost.example.com:8000 )
You can run the setup-wizard on the browser. ( Setup-wizard often fail. Restart it again and again. This issue has been there since ages and yet to be fixed )
----- NOW deploy it in production mode - on nginx server -------
bench setup supervisor --yes
sudo ln -s `pwd`/config/supervisor.conf /etc/supervisord.d/frappe-bench.ini
sudo ln -s `pwd`/config/nginx.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d/frappe-bench.conf
sudo service supervisord restart
sudo service nginx restart
useradd -m -s /bin/bash erpnext

At this point we have a frappe site running — bench start and you will get the website on port 8000. But ERPNext not yet installed. Let’s continue

Now you have ERPNext on port 8000. ( http://yourhost.example.com:8000 )

You can run the setup-wizard on the browser. ( Setup-wizard often fail. Restart it again and again. This issue has been there since ages and yet to be fixed )
