Install POS Awesome

Greetings!

I have been checking it out and I believe Dokos is a great product! In our ERPNext, we rely heavily on POS Awesome since the built in POS is lacking in critical features.

I tried to install POS Awesome for testing using instructions found here but I got the following error:

How can I get around this?

Hi @dmbabu,

With Dokos you need to pass the app name explicitly when installing it.
The install command is therefore:

bench get-app posawesome https://github.com/yrestom/POS-Awesome.git

I haven’t try to use this app with Dokos, but it should be compatible.
Please don’t hesitate to share your experience !

Thanks!. I went ahead and did

bench get-app posawesome GitHub - yrestom/POS-Awesome: POS Awesome is an open-source Point of Sale for Erpnext using Vue.js and Vuetify

Now I am getting this:

I have gone ahead to try and install testfm via

pip install https://github.com/grafos-ml/test.fm/archive/v1.0.4.tar.gz
pip install frappe

Still failed with same error.

Please help.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @dmbabu,

The problem exists because POSAwesome references frappe as a requirement: https://github.com/yrestom/POS-Awesome/blob/master/requirements.txt
frappe on pip is a completely different package (https://github.com/grafos-ml/frappe) and this is the reason why you are having this issue.

Here is the reference to the same error with the installation of ERPNext solved by the Frappe Team: https://github.com/frappe/erpnext/commit/64a38f52cf72a56568876bcc376e69aec3680007#diff-4d7c51b1efe9043e44439a949dfd92e5827321b34082903477fd04876edb7552

I guess you need to create a ticket on POSAwesome’s github page.

Have a nice day!

did install but now when click pos this error come

Hi @shuhain85,

Unfortunately, it seems that POSAwesome uses a method not available in Dokos. This method is specific to ERPNext as we are using a very different Payment Request document in Dokos.

I suggest you open an issue on the POSAwesome project repository.

Have a good week-end !
