Error while installing bench and frappe-bench

[Dhaval Patel]

Following instructions provided at : https://github.com/frappe/bench#setting-up-erpnext

I installed all the prerequisites one by one seperately and tried to install bench.

While installing bench (centos 6.5) I get the following error:

Installing collected packages: bench

  Running setup.py develop for bench

    file bench.py (for module bench) not found

Creating /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/bench.egg-link (link to .)

    Adding bench 0.1 to easy-install.pth file

    Installing bench script to /usr/bin

    Installed /home/frappe/bench-repo

Successfully installed bench

Cleaning up...

Since it still says bench successfully installed I went forward and run: bench init frappe-bench

I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/local/bin/bench", line 9, in <module>

    load_entry_point('bench==0.1', 'console_scripts', 'bench')()

  File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/pkg_resources.py", line 357, in load_entry_point

  File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/pkg_resources.py", line 2394, in load_entry_point

  File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/pkg_resources.py", line 2108, in load

ImportError: No module named bench.cli

Was my bench installed succesfully? Do i need to run the "bench init frappe-bench" command as root or frappe. I did as frappe.

I am not able to reproduce this error all time (little random). The
fix for it is

```
pip uninstall bench
pip install -e /home/frappe/bench-repo
```
Basically install it again, and it runs fine.

Nope, nothing happened. You'll have to init again and as frappe.

That is the problem. bench is package (dir with __init__.py file),
there is really no bench.py. The entry point is bench.cli

Can you try uninstall it and then installing it using the method below,

```
cd /home/frappe/bench-repo
python setup.py develop #as root
```

Pratik,

Thank you very much for your time. You guys are great.

I tried your options but missing file (bench.py) error was always there. But I went forward and init the frappe. Earlier my bench init error was due to permission issue (frappe user did not had permission), I looked in your old frappe-bench install scripts and I found out that we need to update sudoers file and provide frappe with admin rights (echo "erpnext ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/supervisorctl restart frappe\:" > /etc/sudoers.d/erpnext), this line is missing in new install scripts. 

Now I do have frappe running but not sure if that error might create some functionality issues. I hope not.

Yes, that is a warning from distutils, you can ignore it.

That is replaced by a new command in the bench, `bench setup sudoers`
but if you've added it manually, it's fine, just replace erpnext with
frappe

Nope, all seems to have run correctly.
