Install ERPNext without bench

Hello everyone. is it possible to run frappe/ERPNext without frappe/bench? If yes, please let me know. Thanks all. (Sorry about my bad english)

In ERPNext installation process, i inspected ā€˜bechā€™ command like bench init, bench get-app, bench install-app and see ā€˜benchā€™ command include of commands like python, pip, yarn. So I hope it can be installed without bench. I donā€™t want to be depended on bench. I used ā€˜ps auxā€™ to inspect it.

Is your issue with bench(the application) or the folder ā€œfrappe-benchā€?
It is possible in a manual installation to name the bench whatever you like:
bench init mybench --python python2.7 --verbose
My opinion is that you donā€™t want to use the default names for bench (ā€œfrappe-benchā€) or the default site (ā€œsite1.localā€) if you can avoid it, though this is not something beginners need to worry about.
As far as running ERPNext with bench (the application), itā€™s a little bit like saying, ā€œI only want to run Microsoft Word for Windows. I donā€™t want to use Windows.ā€ Not only do you want to embrace bench (because itā€™s powerful), you donā€™t really have a choice.
