  • Install wkhtmltopdf

Follow this nobproof instruction

Recommended

Install openjdk-jdk $sudo aptitude install openjdk-jdk

Installing Frappe

Note

Easy install scripts creating non-system ubuntu user = frappe in fact this is optional you can safely using your daily login ubuntu user for Production state.

Choose the partision where to install frappe/Erpnext due to the file will grow up quickly in case erpnext "users" extensively using attachements file especially when E-mail feature activated.

  • Log in to non root user and navigate to any folder the user have write access i.e /home/user and clone bench

/home/user/$

$ git clone https://github.com/frappe/bench bench

couple minutes download depending on your internet speed bench folder will be created upon success of cloned

  • Installing bench

`$ sudo -H pip install -e bench'

This is arbitrary using sudo with -H flag will make bench usable for every user in the system

if you wish the bench only for the certain user then give command

'$ pip install --user -e bench'

'$ echo "export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH" >> ~/.bashrc'

'$ . ~/.bashrc or source ~/.bashrc'

  • Installing Production bench/ Development bench

$ bench init xxx-bench you can use any names dev-bench. prod-bench, fun-bench, test-bench and so on

  • Installing Erpnext Platform app

$ cd xxx-bench

../xx-bench

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

At this stage bench and erpnext have been installed on your system, next is the real game If you see any warning message related to babel preset, execute:

$ npm install --save-dev babel-preset-env

  • Creating A site for Erpnext Development or Production

Log in and Create Mysql Database

$ mysql -u root -p

MariaDB [(none)]> MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE erpnext; (suggesting name is identical with the site name you are going to create on the next step).

MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON erpnext.* TO 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH GRANT OPTION;

MariaDB [(none)]> \q;

Creating New Erpnext Site

../xxx-bench

$ bench new-site sitename --db-name erpnext --mariadb-root-username root --mariadb-root-password password --install-app erpnext --verbose --force

Finish

Erpnext safely installed on your ubuntu 16.04 system to learn about bench command execute:

$ bench --help

  • Set up

$ bench setup procfile

  • Production setup

$ bench setup nginx

$ bench setup supervisor

Note

  • Supervisord will manage redis-server
  • chek $ /etc/redis/redis.conf and configure the redis as your need
  • Standard binary linux distro kernel (as well as ubuntu) activate by default THP (Transparent Huge Page) feature. Redis ( and mongoodb dont like it 🥇 )
  • I preferred to use aptitude command in ubuntu rather than apt-get since aptitude is always on pretend option.
  • Retstarting nginx, mysql, supervisor etc is on linux distro kanowledge base ( depending on your distro using openrc or systemd init
