Hi,

I’m trying to create a custom app, following Not Found
Currently, I have bench and erpnext installed on production in site1.local

When trying to install the new app via bench install-app myapp … it thrown me this error:

What’s wrong?

I was able to install new app…must stop production first then just install new-app

I have erpnext is also installed, and I want to put some customization into this custom-app …
The app folder was created, but it doesn’t appear on desk. Why?

@jof2jc Always build an app in developer setup (not production) as it will not auto-reload.

Your module will show up when you create a few DocTypes.
