Welcome to ERPNext

Every system is designed separately, so you might have to unlearn and re-learn!

ERPNext has real time support via socket.io - builtin caching and queuing via Redis, and the client site app is built in with nodejs

Any specific places you are stuck?

@himalsaman

Yes it is run form source, like any Python app.

Which point are you getting stuck? What is the error traceback? What installation guide have you followed?

@himalsaman

Refer to the above point!

Did you choose any of the tried and tested methods in the Wiki?

Are you referring to the business domains in the setup wizard? A simple answer is that the domain you select will give you the icons on your Desk accordingly and you will see those modules in the sidebar navigation.

You can select multiple domains.

You can find the answer here:

Reason for choosing mariadb over postgresql

Search for “postgres” or “postgresql” on this forum and you’ll see a lot of threads on this topic. Long story short is there is no “reason” - the decision was made a long time ago when the product was much smaller and very different. There is no preference or ideological argument for one over the other in the frappe/erpnext context. The only roadblock between erpnext/frappe and postgres support is someone actually willing to implement it. Right now, frappe uses its own custom ORM, so migrating…

Or you can participate in any of the multiple postgres threads.

PS: there may be good news with respect to using Postgres in Frappe originating from this thread.

If you be more specific about what problems you are facing, you will get better answers. Vague questions will invite further vague answers and the loop will continue
