Introduction
Who is this for?
What are we building?
Prerequisites
A list of resources to help you get started with building apps using Frappe.
Install and Setup Bench
Bench is the command line tool to manage Frappe apps and sites.
Create an App
Create a frappe app scaffold using the bench CLI.
Create a Site
A site comes with a database and apps can be installed on it.
Create a DocType
DocType is analogous to a Model in other frameworks. Apart from defining
properties, it also defines the behavior of the Model.
DocType Features
In the previous chapter, we created the Article doctype. Let's see what other
features we can customize.
Controller Methods
Controller methods allow you to write business logic during the lifecycle of a document.
Types of DocType
Let's learn about the different types of doctype in the framework by creating
more doctypes.
Form Scripts
Form Scripts are client-side javascript code that enhances the UX of your Forms.
Form Scripts
Portal Pages
Portal pages are server rendered pages for your website visitors.

Practice
What's Next?
The goal of this tutorial was to give an introduction to the various parts of
the framework. We have only scratched the surface here. Frappe Framework has a
lot more features that have enabled us to build complex software such as
ERPNext.

Create the frappe-bench directory
COMPLETED
Let's create our project folder which will contain our apps and sites. Run the following command:
bench init frappe-bench
This will create a directory named frappe-bench in your current working
directory. It will do the following:
- Create a python virtual environment under
envdirectory. - Fetch and install the
frappeapp as a python package. - Install node modules of
frappe. - Build static assets.

Add details about how to specify version
It might be helpful to note that you have the option to specify which version of frappe to install. For example, to install version 13:
bench init --version version-13 frappe-bench
Without the --version parameter, the latest development branch is installed (currently version 14)
