Tutorial Request: ERPNext Platform

Question

Dear Digital Ocean Contributors!

Please place a detailed and step-by-step guide to install ERPNext.com platform from manual installation points of view.

The guys out there are doing good job but it looks like some commits having bad impact on the overall performance.

Please go through and provide clear manual installation guide for the components named Bench, Frappe Framework and ERPNext.

They are calling the last two as Apps based on the 1st one as somehow engine.

Please assume that, non-skilled users like me are looking for installation specific versions of any of the above, in particular Frappe Framework which is not clear out there.

Please consider Ubuntu 14.04, MariaDB, Redis, NodeJS and WKHTMLtoPDF with patched QT.

Assume the source is available for any which is not supposed to be the latest ones.

Thank you!

It appears that they provide a installer for ERPNext. Based on the documentation available the process would be: 1.) Create a new droplet using Ubuntu 14.04 or CentOS 7 2.) Log into the droplet as root 3.) Run the following: wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/frappe/bench/develop/playbooks/install.py sudo python install.py --production According to the official documentation this will: This script will: Install pre-requisites like git and ansible Shallow clones this bench repository under /usr/local/frappe/bench-repo Runs the Ansible playbook ‘playbooks/develop/install.yml’, which: Installs MariaDB and its config Redis NodeJS WKHTMLtoPDF with patched QT Initializes a new Bench at ~/frappe/frappe-bench with frappe framework already installed under apps. You will have to manually create a new site (bench new-site) and get apps that you need (bench get-app, bench install-app).

Here are the scripts we use to install ERPNext in two steps: Create a droplet using Ubuntu 16.04 with 1-2GB of RAM and on the fresh console,and then make sure locale and python 3 are installed. Then download the official ansible script from frappe that will then download and install all the requirements for running erpnext.This will install the default site of erpnext. Follow instructions below to install more instances of erpnext on the same VM. We have installed more than 30 on a single droplet and counting. sudo locale-gen en_US.UTF-8 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/python-3.6 apt-get update apt-get install -y python3.6 echo "frappe ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL" >> /etc/sudoers wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/frappe/bench/master/playbooks/install.py python3.6 install.py --production --user frappe --mysql-root-password mysqlpa55w00rd --admin-password adminpa55w00rd notes: substitute “mysqlpa55w00rd” and “mysqlpa55w00rd” accordingly Create a script named install-erp.sh #!/bin/bash -x cd /home/frappe/frappe-bench sudo yes y | sudo bench new-site $2 --mariadb-root-password mysqlpa55w00rd --admin-password adminpa55w00rd sudo yes y | sudo bench set-nginx-port $2 $1 sudo yes y | sudo bench --site $2 install-app erpnext sudo yes y | sudo bench setup nginx sudo service nginx reload sudo yes y | sudo bench setup production frappe notes: substitute “mysqlpa55w00rd” and “mysqlpa55w00rd” as needed run the script with the following parameters: $ port=8080 $ erpname=mysite $ install-erp.sh $erpname $port where erpname is the name of the site instance and the port 8080 is the port number. Let the installer finish. The resulting installation is going to be on the droplet ip and the port number like:http://yourdroplet_ip:8080 you could then configure a proxy to handle the ports as subdomains so your erpnext site is easily located as:http://mysite.mydroplet Enjoy erpnext!!

try from the console:$ bash ./install-erp.sh 8080 testsite as the install-erp.sh is a script text and need to be executable using bash, or make it executable using $ chmod +x install-erp.sh so it can be used directly: $ ./install-erp.sh 8080 testsite hope this helps,e
