Hi Mac,
Our development environment supports only Unix like operating systems
(Mac OS X and GNU/Linux). You can develop in a virtual machine if you
don’t want to dual boot.
I could use some help deciding on a development setup for ERPnext for Windows. I’m a noob to Linux and development in general but I want to start familiarizing myself with how it all works.
Atom seems like quite a nice package to start learning with but my questions are:
if I’m developing with the VM (since I’m on windows) can I install Atom on the VM? Is it the desktop version of Ubuntu on the VM?
Basically I don’t understand what tools people are using to develop if you’re using the VM and if any are pre-installed.
Thanks for your help!
I know this is an old post, but it fits my question.
I also dreamt about developing and running under Windows. Maybe someone will get ERPNext running on Windows with Linux tools. But it is better to develop under Linux, which is the target system, most ERPNext instances are running on.
The best way to Setup a development station is to create a VM with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Desktop.
Then you install the ERPNext system according the guideline from the documentation. Then you take an ide of choice (VS Code or PyCharm free edition) and you are ready to fly.
But you must have certain knowledge in Python,
JavaScript. And be prepared to invest a lot of time for learning.
Best way is to watch the Developer Videos and walk through the tutorials.
Thank you, this was exactly what I was looking for. I just tried updating the erpnext development VM to get the Ubuntu desktop, but I was getting a hard crash everytime I tried to log in to the graphical desktop. I guess starting with the full version of Ubuntu and installing erpnext manually is the way to go instead. I don’t mind working in Linux, but it has to run on my windows machine and I’d rather not dual boot.
Yep, it’s gonna be a long road, but I’ve been waiting for a good reason to learn how to properly contribute to an open source project, and expand my html and javascript.
If you are using Windows 10, you can use Ubuntu in Windows Store to setup a Unix environment. Then follow the guideline for unix environment. However, the cons is hard to use IDE to directly debug
