ERPNext virtual box image is working?

[Catalin Lungu]

Hi,
I want to install the virtual box image but I have problems. I imported the .ova file and I started the image. First I put "erpnext" on erpnext-vm login and "erpnext" on password. After a successful connection I am in erpnext@erpnext-vm: ~$
Now I suppose I should start the gui interface, but startx is unknown command.
Can you help me, please. Do you have a detailed installation manual?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Catalin,

Once the vm boots, the server is already running. Goto
http://localhost:8000 from the host OS (Virtualbox proxies this).

Thanks Pratik,
Now it's working.

What is the best OS to install erpnext for developing? I am a python programmer but I'm a newbie in Linux.

Another question:
How can I connect to virtualbox (erpnext) form a remote computer. Perhaps http://my_public_host_ip:8000?

Thanks.

Hi Catalin,

The virtual image you downloaded is of version 3. Version 4 will be
released soon and is easier to develop on. Please follow this,
https://github.com/frappe/frappe-bench to set it up.

Just get the latest Ubuntu, that should be fine.
