You can set the required_apps in your custom app to run a validation on install.

For example, the India Compliance app requires both Frappe and ERPNext to be installed:

resilient-tech/india-compliance/blob/c27d3a2a74555c82c4f7d52319aef796d406c568/india_compliance/hooks.py#L11


      
          from . import __version__ as app_version
          
          
app_name = "india_compliance"
          app_title = "India Compliance"
          app_publisher = "Resilient Tech"
          app_description = "ERPNext app to simplify compliance with Indian Rules and Regulations"
          app_icon = "octicon octicon-file-directory"
          app_color = "grey"
          app_email = "hello@indiacompliance.app"
          app_license = "GNU General Public License (v3)"
          required_apps = ["frappe/erpnext"]
          
          
after_install = "india_compliance.install.after_install"
          after_migrate = "india_compliance.audit_trail.setup.after_migrate"
          before_tests = "india_compliance.tests.before_tests"
          boot_session = "india_compliance.boot.set_bootinfo"
          before_uninstall = "india_compliance.uninstall.before_uninstall"
          
          
setup_wizard_requires = "assets/india_compliance/js/setup_wizard.js"
          setup_wizard_stages = "india_compliance.audit_trail.setup.get_setup_wizard_stages"
