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.

Go to your terminal and from the frappe-bench directory, run the following command:
$ bench --site library.test set-config --global developer_mode 1
