Now that we have created our frappe-bench directory, we can start the Frappe web server by running the following command:

$ cd frappe-bench
$ bench start

This will start several processes including a Python web server based on Gunicorn, redis servers for caching, job queuing and socketio pub-sub, background workers, node server for socketio and a node server for compiling JS/CSS files.

The web server will start listening on the port 8000 but we don't have any sites yet to serve. Our next step is to create our app and create a site that will have this app installed.

Make sure not to close the terminal where bench start is running. To run bench commands, create another terminal and cd into the frappe-bench directory.

Good job on following the tutorial so far!
