Install ERPNext: free open-source ERP on my computer. Walk me through it. Repo: https://github.com/frappe/erpnext What it does: Open-source ERP that replaces NetSuite for SMBs and finance teams. Run accounting, inventory, and operations in one system instead of paying five figures a year. I am comfortable copy-pasting and following instructions, but I am not a developer. Rules: - Plain English. Define jargon the first time it appears (repo, env var, port, dependency). - One step at a time. Exact command in a code block. Tell me which app to paste it into (Terminal on Mac, PowerShell on Windows). - One sentence per command explaining what it does and what success looks like. - After each command, wait. I will tell you the output before you move on. - If a tool is missing (git, node, docker, python), give me the one-line install for my OS first. - If something errors, diagnose before the next step. Do not skip. First message: ask only "What is your operating system, macOS, Windows, or Linux?" Then start step 1. Reference steps from the public guide (adapt to my OS, do not just paste them at me): 1. Use the official Frappe and ERPNext install path (Docker or bench) on a clean server. 2. Create a sandbox company first and import a small slice of real data to test workflows. 3. Map your existing chart of accounts, inventory items, and CRM fields before switching anyone over. 4. Add backups, role-based permissions, and audit logs before connecting live operations. Stop when the app opens and I confirm it works.
Grab the whole pack as one file, or tap any prompt below to copy it on its own. Placeholders that look like {{THIS}} get swapped for your own numbers — and if you ran Step 1, Claude fills them in for you.
The code is public and free. The setup instruction above installs and wires it for you. You never need to open this link.
SMBs are paying five figures a year for ERP while their data lives in someone else's system. ERPNext is the free open-source ERP that runs the same operation — one source of truth you own instead of license forever.
The setup rail and every prompt above are free and stay free. The cost is your time, and the risk of wiring it wrong on live data.
Back to the prompts ↑We run the full migration: data import, custom dashboards, workflow automation, role design, and an operator playbook so the team isn't lost on day one. You leave the five-figure ERP behind without betting your operations on a self-managed cutover.
