### Instant Stock Knowledge
|

|
||||
Instantly view current stock for a certain part, in a particular location, or required for an individual build. Stock items are organized in cascading locations and sub-locations, allowing flexible inspection of stock under any location. Stock items can be serialized for tracking of individual items, and test results can be stored against a serialized stock item for the purpose of acceptance testing and commissioning.

### BOM Management
|
||||
|
||||
Intelligent BOM (Bill of Material) management provides a clear understanding of the sub-parts required to make a new part.
|
||||
InvenTree allows you to upload simple BOM files in multiple formats, and download a detailed BOM with all the information stored in its database.

### Build Parts
|
||||
|
||||
Inventree features a build management system to help you track the progress of your builds.
|
||||
Builds consume stock items to make new parts, you can decide to automatically or manually allocate parts from your current inventory.

### Extend and Customize
|
||||
|
||||
InvenTree is designed to be highly extensible. If the core InvenTree functionality does not meet your particular need, InvenTree provides a RESTful API, a native Python library, and a powerful plugin system.

### Serving Data
|
||||
|
||||
Once a database is setup, you need a way of accessing the data. InvenTree provides a "server" application out of the box, but this may not scale particularly well with multiple users. Instead, InvenTree can be served using a webserver such as [Gunicorn](https://gunicorn.org/). For more information see the [deployment documentation](start/deploy).

|

|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
## OS Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
To install a complete *development* environment for InvenTree, follow the steps presented below. A production environment will require further work as per the particular application requirements.
|
||||
|
||||
!!! warning "Windows"
|
||||
If you are using the Windows operating system, it is recommended that you use the <a href='https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10'>WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) framework</a>
|
||||
Installing and running InvenTree should be possible on most operating systems, as it requires only cross-platform Python libraries.
|
||||
|
||||
### Requirements
|
||||
### Linux
|
||||
|
||||
To install InvenTree you will need python3 (>3.6) installed, as well as PIP (the Python package manager).
|
||||
|
||||
Install these required programs (e.g. using apt or similar) before running the setup scripts.
|
||||
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
The InvenTree documentation assumes that the operating system is a Linux variant. To install the required python packages to get started on a Linux system, run the following commands:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo apt-get update
|
||||
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-dev python3-pip
|
||||
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-dev
|
||||
sudo apt-get install python3-pip python3-invoke
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
!!! warning "Sudo"
|
||||
`apt-get` commands will (most likely) be required to run under sudo. Take care not to run the installation scripts under sudo, as this may alter the system python path and cause the InvenTree installation to not work correctly
|
||||
|
||||
### Windows
|
||||
|
||||
InvenTree can be installed and run from the Windows command line, assuming the following binaries are available in the system PATH:
|
||||
|
||||
- python3
|
||||
- pip3
|
||||
- invoke
|
||||
|
||||
!!! info "WSL"
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, if you are running under the Windows operating system you can install and run InvenTree using the <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10">WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)</a> framework. Running under WSL provides a Linux compatible layer which simplifies InvenTree installation.
|
||||
|
||||
### FreeBSD
|
||||
|
||||
If you are running the FreeBSD operating system, run the following commands to install the required Python packages:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
pkg install python
|
||||
pkg install py37-pip
|
||||
pkg install py37-wheel
|
||||
pkg install py37-invoke
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Python Setup
|
||||
|
||||
To install InvenTree you will need python3 (>3.6) installed, as well as PIP (the Python package manager), and the Invoke tool.
|
||||
|
||||
### Python Virtual Environment
|
||||
|
||||
Installing the required Python packages inside a virtual environment allows a local install separate to the system-wide Python installation. While not strictly necessary, using a virtual environment is highly recommended as it prevents conflicts between the different Python installations.
