ERPNext is an open-source business management application built on the Frappe Framework. The official framework installation guide lists version-specific dependencies: for Frappe v14/v15 it specifies MariaDB 10.6.6+, Python 3.10+, Node.js 18+, Redis 6, Yarn 1.12+, and pip 20+. Frappe’s production guide recommends Docker images rather than a bare-metal installation; actual server sizing depends on enabled modules, users, data and background jobs.
For the documented Frappe v14/v15 dependency set: MariaDB 10.6.6+, Python 3.10+, Node.js 18+, Redis 6, Yarn 1.12+, and pip 20+. Confirm the matching ERPNext/Frappe branch before deployment.
The official production guide recommends Docker images and does not recommend a bare-metal production installation.
Recommended
Documented guidance
No further general recommendations are published for this version.
Capacity depends on your workload
The reviewed official installation and production pages do not give a universal CPU, RAM, or disk sizing figure. Size based on active users, installed Frappe apps, database volume, attachments, scheduled jobs and backup retention.
We only compare what providers publish. A RAM figure alone can't confirm compatibility or production capacity.
Deploy with
Supported paths
Docker-based production deployment using the official Frappe production guidance
Bench-based installation for development or controlled deployments
The host must provide
Runtime
Database for Frappe v14/v15
MariaDB 10.6.6 or newer
Python for Frappe v14/v15
Python 3.10 or newer
Node.js, Redis, Yarn and pip for Frappe v14/v15
Node.js 18+, Redis 6, Yarn 1.12+, pip 20+
Background and web services
Production deployment needs the services and process management described in the selected Docker/Bench setup
Storage
Persistent data
Keep database files, site files and user-uploaded attachments persistent and include them in tested backups. The official prerequisite page does not publish a universal disk size; storage needs depend on business records, uploaded documents, logs and backup retention.
Step by step
Plan an ERPNext deployment
Choose a compatible release
Select the ERPNext and Frappe branch first. Install dependencies that match that branch rather than mixing the v14/v15 and v16/develop requirements.
For production, follow the official guide’s Docker recommendation. Treat Bench instructions as branch- and deployment-specific, and avoid exposing a development server.
