After login check for any updates or upgrade on the server and reboot the server by executing this command.

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo reboot

Now we will create the new user

sudo adduser erpnext
sudo usermod -aG sudo erpnext
sudo su erpnext
cd /home/erpnext

Frappe Bench and ERPNext require necessary packages which are essential to run the ERPNext application smoothly.

sudo apt install -y nano git python3-dev python3.10-dev python3-setuptools python3-pip python3-distutils python3.10-venv software-properties-common mariadb-server mariadb-client redis-server xvfb libfontconfig wkhtmltopdf libmysqlclient-dev

Now we will set up the MariaDB server. During this process, the server will ask you a few questions. Follow the instruction and answer the questions carefully.

sudo mysql_secure_installation

Now we need to edit the mysql config file

sudo nano /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf

First of all, we need to comment this line.

collation-server = utf8mb4_general_ci

Now save this file. To save the file press CTRL+X and press Y and press enter key.Now edit the other config file

sudo nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf

Copy and paste these lines at the last of file.

[mysqld]
character-set-client-handshake = FALSE
character-set-server = utf8mb4
collation-server = utf8mb4_unicode_ci
innodb-file-format=barracuda
innodb-file-per-table=1
innodb-large-prefix=1

[mysql]
default-character-set = utf8mb4

sudo service mysql restart

We will now install some more important packages CURL, NPM, Nodejs, and Yarn

sudo apt install curl npm -y
sudo npm install -g yarn
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/master/install.sh | bash
source ~/.profile
nvm install node

Now it is time to install Frappe Bench and give the user permissions.

sudo pip3 install frappe-bench
sudo pip3 install redis
bench init --frappe-branch version-14 frappe-bench
cd frappe-bench/
chmod -R o+rx /home/erpnext

Now we will set up the bench for production use

sudo bench setup production username

Here type the username which we created in the starting of the video.

It is very important to run this command two time.

Now we will create the site where ERPNext and other apps will be install.

bench new-site yoursitename

Type the mysql password which we used while setting up the mysql.

Type Administrator password and remember it. This will be used to login into ERPNext.

Now we will download and install ERPNext and some other apps on the site which we created just now.

bench get-app payments --resolve-deps
bench get-app --branch version-14 erpnext --resolve-deps
bench get-app hrms
bench get-app ecommerce_integrations --branch main --resolve-deps

bench --site yoursitename install-app erpnext
bench --site yoursitename install-app hrms
bench --site yoursitename install-app ecommerce_integrations

Now we will re-configure the production server for ERPNext which enables the frappe to run with no limitations.

bench --site yoursitename enable-scheduler
bench --site yoursitename set-maintenance-mode off
sudo bench setup production username
bench setup nginx
sudo supervisorctl restart all
sudo bench setup production username

Now access the server IP on your browser.

You now have a fresh new installation of ERPNext. Now let's login and configure it.

Username: Administrator
Password: Your chosen password

Enter the password which we setup while installing ERPNext .
