How to install specific version of erpnext and frappe-bench

Hi,

I want to install the specific versions of erpnext (v13.6.0) and frappe-bench (v13.6.0) on Ubuntu 20.04.
What are the prerequisites and their versions that are required to be installed before installation of erpnext and frappe-bench?

Hi @Sachin_Jaiswal,

To install specific versions of ERPNext (v13.6.0) and Frappe-bench (v13.6.0) on Ubuntu 20.04, you’ll need to follow a slightly different approach. Unfortunately, direct installation of specific versions using package managers isn’t supported. Instead, you must download the source code of the desired versions, paste it into the appropriate directories, and then migrate it.

This method involves a bit more manual work and can be challenging to manage compared to using package managers for installation. However, it’s the only way to ensure you’re using the exact versions you require. Be prepared to handle potential complexities that may arise during this process.

I hope this helps.

Thank You!

Thanks for your reply. Is it possible to restore the database with files of erpnext version 13.6.0 on erpnext version 13.55?

Maybe not, because if you try to restore a site in ERPNext with an older version of the site and an older database, it might cause problems or break the database. Even if it does work, you’ll need to migrate the site, but it might not work properly with the older version.

Thank You!

Yes, you can install specific version of Frappe/ERPNext.

for Frappe:
bench init frappe-bench --frappe-branch v13.6.0

for ERPNext:
bench get-app erpnext --branch v13.6.0

I tried with these commands, but these commands gave errors and asked to roll back changes.
And what prerequisites do I need to install before installation of v13.6.0?

Please try this installation guide.

With this installation guide, can I use the above-mentioned commands to install the erpnext version 13.6.0 and frappe-bench 13.6.0?

Yes, just replace branch name to version number including β€œv”.

Ok thanks, I will follow the steps you suggested and will revert you.

I tried these steps but was not able to install MariaDB 10.3. Can I install another version that will work?

Just run
sudo apt install mariadb-server

if you are getting any error.
please share full error with screenshot.

This command worked for me.
Thanks

When run the command:-
bench init frappe-bench --verbose --frappe-branch version-13.6.0

I got errors:-

sachin@sachin-VirtualBox:~$ bench init frappe-bench --verbose --frappe-branch v13.6.0

git switch -c
