Any easy way to setup ERPNext Demo in the virtual machine ?

[L Bala]

Is there any easier way to setup the demo database in the Virtual Box that we download from the website ?
I have done the following:
1) Download the latest VB image and booted the server. Ran the update script in the scripts folder.
2) Added erpnext-demo to the apps.txt file in /home/erpnext/frappe-bench/sites folder.
3) Added the /home/erpnext/frappe-bench/env/bin to the PATH (export PATH=$PATH:/home/erpnext/frappe-bench/env/bin)
4) Ran the command "frappe demo.erpnext-vm --install_app erpnext_demo" from the /home/erpnext/frappe-bench/scripts folder

Getting the error message "ImportError: No module named erpnext_demo".

Am I missing any steps ?

Also, can we have the demo instance delivered as part of the virtual image ?

You need to clone erpnext-demo github repo in the apps folder and run python setup.py develop from erpnext-demo folder.

The upcoming version of bench will make it much easier.

Anand, thanks for immediate response.

When I am running the command "python setup.py develop" , I am now getting the error "ImportError: No module named setuptools"

[Anand Doshi]

you need to activate environment.

go to frappe-bench and run

. ./env/bin/activate

then go to erpnext-demo and run python setup.py develop

Anand, When I ran the activate command nothing happened. No output. Just came back to the command prompt. Not sure if it is correct or not.

Then when I rerun the setup.py, I am getting the same error.

Don't we have any step by step instructions for setting up the demo? How have others done it?

Regards.

@Anand, I was able to successfully run the activate command and then ran the "python setup.py develop" command.

What should be the next set of steps for creating the demo records ?

Sorry for asking simple questions, but I am not sure on the process for creating the demo DB.

You should upgrade to the new bench at https://github.com/frappe/bench

Install the erpnext-demo app,

```
cd frappe-bench
bench get-app erpnext_demo https://github.com/frappe/erpnext-demo
bench frappe --reinstall -f # WIPE ALL DATA FROM CURRENT SITE
bench frappe --install_app erpnext_demo
```

Hi Pratik,

In order to setup erpnext demo, I performed below steps. Please confirm it these are correct? 
bench init frappe-bench 
bench get-app erpnext https://github.com/frappe/erpnext
bench new-site mysite
bench frappe --install_app erpnext mysite

bench get-app erpnext_demo https://github.com/frappe/erpnext-demo

bench frappe --install_app erpnext_demo mysite 

I get below error when I ran "bench frappe --install_app erpnext_demo mysite".

Thanks Rushabh.

It worked. Only thing I noticed that on the main page of the site it shows "We are very sorry for this, but the page you are looking for is missing (this could be because of a typo in the address) or moved.". But all other links are functional.

Kind regards,
