Installation
Download and install the latest release for your platform from the releases page or the download page.
Development
Frappe Books is built on Vue.js and Electron. It is offline by default and uses a local SQLite file as the database.
Pre-requisites
To get the dev environment up and running you need to first set up Node.js version 16.14.0 and npm. For this, we suggest using nvm.
Next, you will need to install yarn.
Clone and Run
Once you are through the Pre-requisites, you can run the following commands to setup Frappe Books for development and building:
# clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/frappe/books.git
# change directory
cd books
# install dependencies
yarn
Development
To run Frappe Books in development mode (with hot reload, etc):
# start the electron app
yarn dev
Note: First Boot
When you run yarn dev electron will run immediately but the UI will take a
couple of seconds to render this because of how dev mode works. Each file is
individually served by the dev server. And there are many files that have to be
sent.
Note: Debug Electron Main Process
When in dev mode electron runs with the --inspect flag which allows an
external debugger to connect to port 5858. You can use chrome for this by
visiting chrome://inspect while Frappe Books is running in dev mode.
See more here.
Build
To build Frappe Books and create an installer:
# start the electron app
yarn build
Note: Build Target By default the above command will build for your computer's operating system and architecture. To build for other environments (example: for linux from a windows computer) check the Building section at electron.build/cli.
So to build for linux you could use the --linux flag like so: yarn build --linux.
