ERPNext not showing in Desk

ERPNext User Forum

I’ve just installed Frappe v13.42.0 & ERPNext.

Logged in to Desk, and I don’t see ERPNext anywhere.

Run the following again:

bench get-app erpnext --branch version-13 --resolve-deps

and I get:

erpnext@dos-dev:/opt/bench/frappe-bench**$ bench get-app erpnext --branch version-13 --resolve-deps

Following apps will be installed

1. erpnext

Compatible version of erpnext is already installed

Do you wish to clone and install the already installed Compatible app [y/N]: y

What am I to do now?

2

Did you run bench --site yoursite.name install-app erpnext? What was the output?

I get this:

If you’ve already run the frappe setup wizard, that’s expected behavior. I don’t believe it’s possible at present to setup a frappe site and add erpnext later. If you don’t have any data you need, it should be as simple as using the restore command that’s given to you in the last line. If you do need the data, it will be a bit more complicated.

it was indeed installed. “erpnext” is in /apps

Strange.

Is it possible that you’re confusing the get-app command and the install-app commands? The fact that an app is present in /apps doesn’t tell you whether or not it has been installed in a particular site.

Thanks for the reply. I did “get” and “install”.

Now I’m:

  • restoring
  • getting
  • installing

Hope it runs fine this time.

Ha, it’s alive now!

Wizard has 6 steps now instead of 3.

Thanks!
