NodeJS LTS using NVM
We need NodeJS 8 which was used in Mar 2018 at the time of ERPNext v10.1.14
# Install nvm
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/master/install.sh | bash
source ~/.bashrc
# Install node v8
nvm install v8.17.0
Force downgrade python2-pip
We need old pip. If new pip is used bench, frappe and erpnext at v10.1.14 cannot be installed
sudo pip install --force-reinstall pip==9.0.3
Install Frappe Bench
We need to install old bench, I chose the commit 6055850 which was near to ERPNext v10.1.14
git clone -n https://github.com/frappe/bench ~/.bench
cd ~/.bench
git checkout -b mar-31-18 605585096cc2a8cdb6ff8f48ba12b90c77845987
sudo pip install -e ~/.bench
Create first frappe-bench
bench init --frappe-branch v10.1.14 ~/frappe-bench
Note: This command will fail because pip which gets added to fresh created bench needs to be downgraded.
Continue installation manually
cd ~/frappe-bench
. ./env/bin/activate
pip install --force-reinstall pip==9.0.3
pip install redis==2.10.6
pip install --no-cache-dir -e ./apps/frappe
bench get-app --branch v10.1.14 erpnext
# Command fails here due to no nodejs dependencies installed
echo -e "frappe\nerpnext" > sites/apps.txt
Notes:
- we need specific version of redis in the environment. Getting error while Creating New Site - #14 by Himanshu_Mishra
- because installation failed, we need to create
sites/apps.txtmanually. - execute
./env/bin/pip freezein your existing (source) frappe-bench just to know what versions are installed on running frappe-bench
Install node package dependencies manually
No need to be in python venv created in previous section.
cd ~/frappe-bench
cp apps/frappe/package.json ./
npm install
rm -rf package.json package-lock.json
Continue bench installation and configuration
cd ~/frappe-bench
bench setup redis
bench setup socketio
bench build
bench setup procfile
Start bench and add new site (development)
bench start
bench new-site testinstall.localhost --install-app erpnext
Production installation
Do not start bench with bench start before setting up production.
sudo apt install -y nginx supervisor
Follow Setup Production instructions
Comment following lines from /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
# listen 80 default_server;
# listen [::]:80 default_server;
restart nginx and supervisor
sudo systemctl restart nginx supervisor
