Running a business is a complex task - handling invoices, tracking stock, managing personnel and even more ad-hoc activities. In a market where software is sold separately to manage each of these tasks, ERPNext does all of the above and more, for free.
- **Accounting**: All the tools you need to manage cash flow in one place, right from recording transactions to summarizing and analyzing financial reports.
- **Order Management**: Track inventory levels, replenish stock, and manage sales orders, customers, suppliers, shipments, deliverables, and order fulfillment.
- **Manufacturing**: Simplifies the production cycle, helps track material consumption, exhibits capacity planning, handles subcontracting, and more!
- **Asset Management**: From purchase to perishment, IT infrastructure to equipment. Cover every branch of your organization, all in one centralized system.
- [**Frappe Framework**](https://github.com/frappe/frappe): A full-stack web application framework written in Python and Javascript. The framework provides a robust foundation for building web applications, including a database abstraction layer, user authentication, and a REST API.
- [**Frappe UI**](https://github.com/frappe/frappe-ui): A Vue-based UI library, to provide a modern user interface. The Frappe UI library provides a variety of components that can be used to build single-page applications on top of the Frappe Framework.
## Production Setup
### Managed Hosting
You can try [Frappe Cloud](https://frappecloud.com), a simple, user-friendly and sophisticated [open-source](https://github.com/frappe/press) platform to host Frappe applications with peace of mind.
It takes care of installation, setup, upgrades, monitoring, maintenance and support of your Frappe deployments. It is a fully featured developer platform with an ability to manage and control multiple Frappe deployments.
Prerequisites: docker, docker-compose, git. Refer [Docker Documentation](https://docs.docker.com) for more details on Docker setup.
Run following commands:
```
git clone https://github.com/frappe/frappe_docker
cd frappe_docker
docker compose -f pwd.yml up -d
```
After a couple of minutes, site should be accessible on your localhost port: 8080. Use below default login credentials to access the site.
- Username: Administrator
- Password: admin
See [Frappe Docker](https://github.com/frappe/frappe_docker?tab=readme-ov-file#to-run-on-arm64-architecture-follow-this-instructions) for ARM based docker setup.
New passwords will be created for the ERPNext "Administrator" user, the MariaDB root user, and the frappe user (the script displays the passwords and saves them to ~/frappe_passwords.txt).
