Install Multiple Bench ERPNext on Ubuntu Desktop 16.04 LTS

For example, we want to install 2 benches in ERPNext :

Production Environment
Development Environment

To install a production environment, use this step How to install ERPNext on Ubuntu Desktop 16.04 LTS

After finished, it automatically creates user frappe to the automated run production environment. To install the development environment, follow the step below :

1. Login with user frappe

2. Create a new benchThe init command will create a bench directory with a frappe framework installed. It will be set up for periodic backups and auto-updates once a day.

  bench init frappe-bench-dev && cd frappe-bench-dev

3. Add a siteFrappe apps are run by frappe sites and you will have to create at least one site. The new-site command allows you to do that.

  bench new-site site1.dev

4. Add appsThe get-app command gets remote frappe apps from a remote git repository and installs them.

  bench get-app erpnext https://github.com/frappe/erpnext

5. Install appsTo install an app on your new site, use the bench install-app command.

  bench --site site1.dev install-app erpnext

6. Start bench to start using the bench, use the bench start command

  bench start

To login to Frappe / ERPNext, open your browser and go to [your-external-ip]:8001, probably localhost:8001

The default username is “Administrator” and the password is what you set when you created the new site.
