The simplest method would be to run it in a docker container (e.g. under docker desktop). The software stack assumes a Linux system, so following the docker setup guide should get you going. |

That would mean to install some program to emulate linux from docker.com or you mean a virtualmachine? The virtualmachine I think is going to slow the entire computer... :( |

@betoxx this is less of a program and more a web service. Linux / docker is more or less the standard for running web services nowadays. I do not recommend running web services on a normal computer. Better use a raspberry pi or similar SBC or a Linode (the smallest instance is powerful enough for a few services and costs 5$ a month) |

So I understand that that way is a web service and I need to subscribe to a Linux / docker instance for running this app, I thought I could install in my own computer un run on a network locally, that was my intention. Thank you for your advice @SchrodingersGat @matmair |

@betoxx InvenTree is a webservice that you can deploy yourself - we recommend linux/docker for that. Where you deploy does not matter but a personal stock windows PC is not recommended as this PC will always need to be on and reachable and a normal windows home/pro is not designed to serve webservices in a efficient way. You can install docker on a windows pc and run it that way. You also can use WSL on any current windows 10/11 instance to run linux on your windows pc. This is a official project supported and provided by microsoft. |

Are you following the docker setup guide or the bare metal setup guide? |

I’m following the Bare metal setup guide on WSL, all things was going well until that. The distro is Ubuntu 20.04 |

Does this not run on Docker Desktop? Either vi UI or CLI? I've been trying to install this for a week. I've tried docker via CLI and using the Docker-desktop UI, and bare-metal under cygwin with pip install. So after "docker pull inventree/inventree:stable", what's next to create container(s) from the image and start it up? There seems to be a chicken & egg problem -- the environment wants to be configured in yaml files that are INSIDE the container. But the containers won't start without the correct ENV vars -- should I pass in the docker run command? AND, your docs only cover running the docker-compose command which performs a ton of compiling/building -- I thought this being a docker image it's all pre-built with dependencies(??) This is so confusing. If I try bare metal, then it's an endless mire of python/pip issues with rust compiler... I don't even get to the invoke part. I get MUCH farther along in my cygwin environment than I do on RHEL 7 linux. I would much prefer to use docker, and I'd like to eventually run development, but start as simple as possible, which I think would be a production server. Can anyone point me to working docker recipe that covers start-to-finish on Win10 Docker desktop? Thank you. |

@4jag yes this will definitely run on docker-desktop, under windows 10:
To get a production server up and running, follow the installation instructions here. The simplest (and recommended) installation method is to use the provided docker-compose script. There are some other files you'll need to - make sure you read the "Required Files" section of the documentation link I posted above. Note that the InvenTree container cannot run by itself. It needs at minimum a database container, and also a proxy container for serving media / static files when in production. |

I think the simplest approach for you would be to get the development server running first, as it works "out of the box" so to speak. Follow the instructions here, which runs you through the entire process: https://inventree.readthedocs.io/en/latest/start/docker_dev/#setup |

@4jag I am not sure what is different in your environment but it works fine on regular win10 pro 21h2 with docker desktop installed. These days I tend to run all stuff on Linux as most devs (including this project) target some form of Linux. You can easily do that on any form of modern windows with a single command. That also makes a lot of stuff simpler in terms of dependencies. |

Hi there @4jag
As I said I am using regular win10 pro 21h2 with the included python 3.9, cmd or powershell and the current docker desktop.
I am just following the instructions from here: https://inventree.readthedocs.io/en/latest/start/docker_dev/
--
My suggestion is that you use WSL to run Debian or Ubuntu as that makes a lot of things simpler.
As said above I am using windows 10

Betreff: Re: [inventree/InvenTree] Run this program on windows 10 (Discussion #2486)
Matmair,
I explained that I'm using Cygwin, so all my compilers and Python environment are installed via Cygwin's package manager and pip. If you're "not sure what is different between in my environment", then you must have the same environment? Are you using Cygwin? If not, then can you say something about your environment? What shell do you use? CMD.EXE? Powershell? If you're using Linux, then how is the Inventree running on Docker-desktop on Windows? Is the image above not your system? If it is yours, then can you say something like: "I built the container on Linux using the steps in the docs; then moved it to a Windows computer ...",
or "I uploaded the image to hub.docker.com, then on Windows10 pulled it down via docker pull, and then via Docker Desktop UI I set these variables in the Volume and Container_path fields...",
or "I placed the docker compose script into ___ folder, I opened a terminal and ran the following docker commands that: ... ",
or "I built the image on Windows, in the Windows-Terminal using the command from the documentation. In order to have the necessary python I downloaded and installed Python for Windows, then used pip to get all the discrepancies. here are the steps...",
or "I installed Ubuntu into WSL2, so i wasn't relying on any Windows-install development software".
The variability of computer OSs is pretty great. Are you on a Mac?

@matmair Show us how this is convenient. Go ahead, do it -- line for line, in context ("use script X" is not a not helpful), for someone who has no experience, start up an instance of Inventree |

@4jag I think you do not understand how open source works. This is not a product you pay for and get free support that you can shout at. If you are not able to follow the steps laid out in the docs it might not be secure for you to deploy this app with your data. I suggest you to use a free plan on a commercial offering like PartsBox. |

@4jag I made over 2.500 commits to this project with exactly this setup last year. I can but I do not like your tone so why bother. Maybe someone else in the community feels more generous with their time. Good luck with that. |

I've been reading your docs and trying to build+start your app. When I saw the hub.docker.com image I thought it would a a good demo to see if we wanted to dive in and tune it to our workflow. @matmair -- I'm sorry for being a jerk -- I got frustrated, and my tone was rude unprofessional. I apologize. |
