Hello ERPNext Community! 
I’m excited to share the major update to our ERPNext installation script that makes setting up ERPNext easier and more powerful than ever before!
What’s New in v2.0?
Additional Apps Marketplace
The biggest new feature - browse and install from 50+ curated Frappe applications in one go!
- Official Frappe Apps: HRMS, CRM, LMS, Insights, Builder, Drive, Helpdesk, and more
- Community Apps: Accounting tools, e-commerce integrations, project management, and specialized industry solutions
- Smart Selection: Interactive dialog with easy checkbox selection
- Intelligent Installation: Multiple fallback strategies ensure maximum success rate
Smart Branch Detection
No more guessing which branch to use!
- Automatic branch detection for each app using
git ls-remote - Version-specific mapping: Frappe Insights uses version-3 for v15, CRM uses develop branch, etc.
- Graceful fallbacks: If specific branch fails, automatically tries default branch
- Third-party apps: Uses default branches (no unnecessary version forcing)
Develop Branch Support
For the brave developers who want bleeding-edge features:
- Comprehensive warnings about risks and requirements
- Proper Redis configuration for develop-specific port requirements (11000, 12000, 13000)
- Version conflict detection prevents mixing stable and develop on same server
- Enhanced error handling for develop-specific issues
Installation Conflict Prevention
Prevents the headaches of version conflicts:
- Automatic detection of existing ERPNext installations
- Clear warnings about Redis port conflicts, Node.js version mismatches
- Smart recommendations for clean installation approaches
- User choice: Continue with warning or abort for safety

Huge shoutout to Gavin D’Souza (@gavindsouza) for maintaining the awesome-frappe repository! The additional apps feature is powered by his incredible curation work.
Important Notes
Version Conflicts
Don’t install develop and production-ready ERPNext versions on the same server! This can cause:
- Redis port conflicts (develop forces 11000-13000, which could conflict with production setups)
- Node.js version mismatches
- Supervisor configuration conflicts
Develop Branch Warning
The develop branch is bleeding-edge and potentially unstable:
- Changes daily, may break without notice
- Not suitable for production or important data
- Limited community support for develop-specific issues
- Use only for testing new features or contributing to core
