Hi There. So I’ve tried the demo and absolutely love ERPNext. I’m trying to learn as much about it as possible and have started thinking about ways to contribute to the community myself
But first, I have a simple question. I noticed on the hosted version there seems to be lots of modules (HR, POS etc.). I’ve installed locally on macOS with frappe-bench and it doesn’t have those features. Is this only available for the paid hosting? If not, how do I enable? What am I misunderstanding?
It should have same modules, the might just be hidden or the user don’t have permission to access them. if you are administrator just search for modules setup and u can select to show and hide modules.
Right. That’s what I thought. Yet my only available options are Core, File Manager, Website, Desk, Setup. When I go into show/hide I see Tools, Website, File Manager, Developer. Hmmm
“Modules are automatically hidden for users that have no permissions on the documents within that module. For example, if a User has no permissions on Purchase Order, Purchase Request, Supplier, the “Buying” module will automatically hidden for that User.”
So make sure that the user you wanna show the modules for have permission
Right understood. I’ve both Frappe and ERPNext installed in my apps directory. How can I check to see if I’ve installed an app within my sites directory?
I’ve been trying to install locally for about 2 weeks, I finally was able to fix all the installation errors and get things up and running. I’m signed in as the default administrator. This is a little off. I’m hoping it’s just a UX problem otherwise it looks like I’d have to reinstall. Could something have gone wrong? I can’t seem to find these anywhere.
My Suggestion to you, if you wanna play around with erpnext and learn its inner workings, then your best option is to use a virtual machine. that way you can break everything the reopen a fresh machine in just a minute so you never worry about breaking anything.
And the awesome team here at Erpnext already prepared a virtual image thats ready to use. all you need is virtual box app install on your mac
here is the link https://erpnext.com/download
Thanks, yes I saw that. I’ve also signed up for a free account and had enough time to play with it, as I said, absolutely love it. My local installation works fine, I just don’t have access to all the apps. I’ll do some more digging and see what I can find. I must be missing something.
Thanks! I gave that a shot. All roles are enabled and all 4 modules are enabled.Updated bench, restarted services, cleared cache. Still doesn’t seem to want to give me all the modules.
Yeah, very strange. Here’s the result for both commands:
