ERPNext setup on Windows

If you are looking for a guide to help set up ERPNext on a Windows operating system, our experts are here to help.

There are several ways to set up ERPNext on Windows like virtualization or Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

Let’s take a quick look at both these methods.

Option 1: Using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)

1. First, check if Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is enabled on the Windows 10 machine.
2. Then, we have to choose a Linux distribution to install through WSL.
3. Now, we have to download and install the Linux distribution from the Microsoft Store or the official website.
4. We have to launch the Linux distribution, set up a user account, and update the package manager.
5. Additionally, we have to install the required dependencies for ERPNext. This may include Python, Node.js, MariaDB (or MySQL), Redis, etc.
6. Then, it is time to install ERPNext with the installation script offered by the ERPNext community. Here’s a general outline of the steps:
   1. First, we have to download the installation script via wget or curl.
   2. Then, make the script executable.
   3. Next, we have to run the script with ./install.py –production to install ERPNext in production mode.
   4. Now, we have to follow the prompts to configure ERPNext.
7. After the installation, we can access ERPNext by opening a web browser on our Windows machine and heading to the IP address or domain name we mentioned during installation.

Option 1: Using Virtualization

1. First, we have to install virtualization software like VirtualBox on our Windows machine.
2. Then, download a pre-configured Linux VM image that already has ERPNext installed.
3. Now, we have to import the downloaded VM image into VirtualBox.
4. Finally, we have to start the VM in VirtualBox. Then, we can then access ERPNext from within the VM.
