Hello all!
I installed bench a few days ago and I am following the frappe tutorial. I am seeing some differences between the screenshots and directory structures in the tutorial and those bench generated ion my disk.
I am using bench v5.29.1 and frappe v16.8.0 (bench init --version v16.8.0)
Should I be using another version? If yes which one?
Since you didn’t mention which tutorial you’re following, it’s a bit hard to say for sure — but I’d assume it’s based on Frappe v15.
Frappe Framework v16 was only released about a month ago, so many tutorials are still based on v15.
Here’s the official v16 release discussion for reference:
If you’re comfortable handling small differences, stay on v16. The fundamentals are the same, and it’s better long-term to work with the latest stable version.
If you prefer zero friction while learning, spin up a v15 bench and follow the tutorial exactly as shown.
Both approaches are valid — it just depends on how strictly you want to match the tutorial.
Noted, and thanks.
If you are talking about Create an App
there is nothing in there that does not work on v16
