1. Make sure the 'passwd' command exists. Install passwd if necessary (e.g. on CentOS, run yum install passwd)
2. Switch to root user using sudo su
3. wget https://raw.github.com/webnotes/erpnext/master/install_erpnext.py
4. python2.7 install_erpnext.py --create_user

This will create a user 'erpnext' and install erpnext in its home directory. To start a development server, login as erpnext with password erpnext (or su erpnext from your root shell)

cd /home/erpnext/erpnext
./lib/wnf.py --serve

If you are installing on your server for deployment, remember to change Administrator's password! You can set the erpnext username and password by passing it to the install script, python2.7 install_erpnext.py --create_user --username erpnext_username --password secretpassword
