Is there a way to make an offline installation of ERPNext?

Is there a way to install bench, frappe and ERPNext when are downloaded manually? I want to make an offline installation without using “bench get-app” online.

I had manually downloaded all of the 3 tar.gz files and I untar/unzip them.

When I execute “pip install -e bench-repo” there is not problem, but in the final step when I try to install with " bench --site mysite install-app erpnext" I get this error: “Not find app ERPNext”.

I manually put the name of the app “ERPNext” into frappe-bench/sites/apps.txt file.

Is it needed to setup some file for fixing the error?

I want to install ERPNext 7. I tried with version 8 (offline too) and I get the same error.

Thanks in advanced for all your help.

You need to do bench get-app atleast once. After that you can install it multiple sites even when you are offline.

Hi @netchampfaris

When I run “bench get-app”, it downloads the latest version of ERPNext. Is there som file that get-app configures when it is executed that command?

I would like to install any version of ERPNext. Is there a way to install directly the version I want?

Thanks

I don’t think there is such a command at the moment.

@fabyc get-app just calls a git repo, just configure git to serve locally - (I think a folder path will also do)

Hi @rmehta ,

Following in testing of trying to install ERPNext v7, I made these steps:

Created a new bench:
bench init frappe-bench && cd frappe-bench

New site:
bench new-site site1

Download to version 7.2.31 of frappe (apps/frappe)
git reset --hard df1347d5f10bc169d241d46a75bf6041b5febe12

I copied erpnext 7.2.32 (downloaded manually) to apps/erpnext dir

I executed: env/bin/pip install -q -e apps/erpnext --no-cache-dir

I added erpnext to the file: apps.txt (dir /frappe-bench/sites)

Then, when I run the command [1] I get this error [2]. I hope you can give me an idea about how can I do.

Thanks in advanced

Another option is to an ‘offline install’ is to download a VM instance https://erpnext.com/download
