FrappeJS + Accounting

Getting Started

This guide is to help setup a development environment for building apps based on the FrappeJS framework, in this case, Accounting.

Both FrappeJS and Accounting have their own individual git repositories, this is a parent repository set up to use Yarn Workspaces and Monorepo workflow which makes development a bit easier.

You are not required to use this setup, this is just a hassle-free way we found for development.

Installation

Step 0

Install build essentials

Ubuntu

apt-get install build-essential python git
apt-get install libgconf-2-4

Step 1

Install Node.js LTS (version 8.11.1)

Tip: The best way to install and manage Node is to install nvm

Step 2

Install yarn package manager.

npm install -g yarn

Step 3

Clone this repo

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/frappe/frappejs-accounting

Step 4

Install dependencies and launch Accounting
