Frappe framework vs frappe app

#1

just wondering … there is the framework called frappe.
when you install a basic ERPNext system you have 2 Apps that are installed

  1. ~/apps/frappe
  2. ~/apps/erpnext

so just wondering what is the difference or relation between the framwork and the App (both called frappe)?

Well,simply put, frappe is a framework and an app! Whenever you create a new bench, frappe is installed in it by default, and to create new sites, apps, etc you need frappe.

So that’s then that frappe is the chicken and the egg at the same time?

Joking aside … would it be described correctly as this ?

bench > frappe > erpnenxt (& other apps)

(“other apps” can be integrated in erpnext or stand alone)

In terms of dependency you can say that yes.
