Usage

  • Updating

    Currently, bench update can be run from any directory however the context of the command changes. If run from a bench directory, the vanilla command itself updates all apps, runs migrations and backs up all sites.

      bench update
    

To manually update the bench, run bench update to update all the apps, run patches, build JS and CSS files and restart supervisor (if configured to).

You can also run the parts of the bench selectively.

bench update --pull will only pull changes in the apps

bench update --patch will only run database migrations in the apps

bench update --build will only build JS and CSS files for the bench

bench update --bench will only update the bench utility (this project)

bench update --requirements will only update all dependencies (Python + Node) for the apps available in current bench

  • Create a new bench

    The init command will create a bench directory with frappe framework installed. It will be setup for periodic backups and auto updates once a day.

      bench init frappe-bench && cd frappe-bench
    
  • Add a site

    Frappe apps are run by frappe sites and you will have to create at least one site. The new-site command allows you to do that.

      bench new-site site1.local
    
  • Add apps

    The get-app command gets remote frappe apps from a remote git repository and installs them. Example: erpnext

      bench get-app erpnext https://github.com/frappe/erpnext
    
  • Install apps

    To install an app on your new site, use the bench install-app command.

      bench --site site1.local install-app erpnext
    
  • Start bench

    To start using the bench, use the bench start command

      bench start
    

    To login to Frappe / ERPNext, open your browser and go to [your-external-ip]:8000, probably localhost:8000

    The default username is "Administrator" and password is what you set when you created the new site.

  • Setup Manager

What it does

	bench setup manager
  1. Create new site bench-manager.local
  2. Gets the bench_manager app from https://github.com/frappe/bench_manager if it doesn't exist already
  3. Installs the bench_manager app on the site bench-manager.local
