I was wondering if in 2024 it is still only possible to move an app by using bench get-app and then bench install-app .
I was hoping I could just copy the directory /frappe-bench/apps/erpnext_xxxxx_app from one machine to the other and then use bench –site [site name] install-app [app name] but when I do that I get the following error:
frappe@c302c01b809d:~/frappe-bench/apps$ bench --site frontend install-app erpnext_xxxxx_app
Could not find app "erpnext_xxxxx_app":
No module named 'erpnext_xxxxx_app'

Anybody know if my approach is somehow possible? Or must I use bench get-app?
