<h2>Frappe Bench</h2>
</div>
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/frappe/bench.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/frappe/bench)
The bench is a command-line utility that helps you to install apps, manage multiple sites and update Frappe / ERPNext apps on */nix (CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu, etc) for development and production. Bench will also create nginx and supervisor config files, setup backups and much more.
If you are using on a VPS make sure it has >= 1Gb of RAM or has swap setup properly.
To do this install, you must have basic information on how Linux works and should be able to use the command-line. If you are looking easier ways to get started and evaluate ERPNext, [download the Virtual Machine](https://erpnext.com/download) or take [a free trial on erpnext.com](https://erpnext.com/pricing).
If you have questions, please ask them on the [forum](https://discuss.erpnext.com/).
## Installation
### Installation Requirements
You will need a computer/server. Options include:
- A Normal Computer/VPS/Baremetal Server: This is strongly recommended. Frappe/ERPNext installs properly and works well on these
- A Raspberry Pi, SAN Appliance, Network Router, Gaming Console, etc.: Although you may be able to install Frappe/ERPNext on specialized hardware, it is unlikely to work well and will be difficult for us to support. Strongly consider using a normal computer/VPS/baremetal server instead. **We do not support specialized hardware**.
- A Toaster, Car, Firearm, Thermostat, etc.: Yes, many modern devices now have embedded computing capability. We live in interesting times. However, you should not install Frappe/ERPNext on these devices. Instead, install it on a normal computer/VPS/baremetal server. **We do not support installing on noncomputing devices**.
To install the Frappe/ERPNext server software, you will need an operating system on your normal computer which is not Windows. Note that the command line interface does work on Windows, and you can use Frappe/ERPNext from any operating system with a web browser. However, the server software does not run on Windows. It does run on other operating systems, so choose one of these instead:
- Linux: Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS are the preferred distros and are well tested. [Arch Linux](https://github.com/frappe/bench/wiki/Install-ERPNext-on-ArchLinux) can also be used
- Mac OS X
### Manual Install
To manually install frappe/erpnext, you can follow this [this wiki](https://github.com/frappe/frappe/wiki/The-Hitchhiker's-Guide-to-Installing-Frapp%C3%A9-on-Linux-OS) for Linux and [this wiki](https://github.com/frappe/frappe/wiki/The-Hitchhiker's-Guide-to-Installing-Frapp%C3%A9-on-Mac-OS-X) for MacOS. It gives an excellent explanation about the stack. You can also follow the steps mentioned below:
#### 1. Install Pre-requisites
- Python 2.7 [Python3.5+ also supported, but not recommended for production]
- MariaDB 10+
- Nginx (for production)
- Nodejs
- yarn
- Redis
- cron (crontab is required)
- wkhtmltopdf with patched Qt (version 0.12.3) (for pdf generation)
#### 2. Install Bench
Install bench as a *non root* user,
git clone https://github.com/frappe/bench bench-repo
pip install --user -e bench-repo
Note: Please do not remove the bench directory the above commands will create
#### Basic Usage
* 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](https://github.com/frappe/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.

## Easy Install
- This is an opinionated setup so it is best to setup on a blank server.
- Works on Ubuntu 16.04, CentOS 7+, Debian 8+
- You may have to install Python 2.7 (eg on Ubuntu 16.04+) by running `apt-get install python-minimal`
- You may also have to install build-essential and python-setuptools by running `apt-get install build-essential python-setuptools`
- This script will install the pre-requisites, install bench and setup an ERPNext site
- Passwords for Frappe Administrator and MariaDB (root) will be asked
- MariaDB (root) password may be `password` on a fresh server
- You can then login as **Administrator** with the Administrator password
- If you find any problems, post them on the forum: [https://discuss.erpnext.com](https://discuss.erpnext.com)
Open your Terminal and enter:
#### 1. Download the install script
For Linux:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/frappe/bench/master/playbooks/install.py
#### 2. Run the install script
If you are on a fresh server and logged in as root, use --user flag to create a user and install using that user
python install.py --develop --user frappe
For developer setup:
sudo python install.py --develop
For production:
sudo python install.py --production
#### What will this script do?
- Install all the pre-requisites
- Install the command line `bench`
- Create a new bench (a folder that will contain your entire frappe/erpnext setup)
- Create a new ERPNext site on the bench
#### How do I start ERPNext
1. For development: Go to your bench folder (`frappe-bench` by default) and start the bench with `bench start`
2. For production: Your process will be setup and managed by `nginx` and `supervisor`. [Setup Production](https://frappe.io/docs/user/en/bench/guides/setup-production.html)
---
## Docker Install - For Developers (beta)
1. For developer setup, you can also use the official [Frappé Docker](https://github.com/frappe/frappe_docker/).
2. The app, mariadb and redis run on individual containers
3. This setup supports multi-tenancy and exposes the frappe-bench volume as a external storage.
4. For more details, [read the instructions on the Frappé Docker README](https://github.com/frappe/frappe_docker/)
Help
====
For bench help, you can type
bench --help
Updating
========
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 dependencies (python packages) for the apps installed
