title: Development Server
|

|
|
|
## Development Server
|
|
|
|
!!! warning "Installation"
|
|
Before continuing, ensure that the [installation steps](../install) have been completed.
|
|
|
|
The following installation instructions can be used to launch a simple development server.
|
|
|
|
!!! warning "Deployment"
|
|
Refer to the [deployment instructions](../deploy) to implement a much more robust server setup.
|
|
|
|
### Running on a Local Machine
|
|
|
|
To run the development server on a local machine, run the command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
(env) inv server
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will launch the InvenTree web interface at `http://127.0.0.1:8000`.
|
|
|
|
A different port can be specified using the `-a` flag:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
(env) inv server -a 127.0.0.1:8123
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Serving on the address `127.0.0.1` means that InvenTree will only be available *on that computer*. The server will be accessible from a web browser on the same computer, but not from any other computers on the local network.
|
|
|
|
### Running on a Local Network
|
|
|
|
To enable access to the InvenTree server from other computers on a local network, you need to know the IP of the computer running the server. For example, if the server IP address is `192.168.120.1`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
(env) inv server -a 192.168.120.1:8000
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Background Worker
|
|
|
|
The backgroun task manager must also be started. The InvenTree server is already running in the foreground, so open a *new shell window* to start the server.
|
|
|
|
### Activate Virtual Environment
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cd /home/inventree
|
|
source ./env/bin/activate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Start Background Worker
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
(env) invoke worker
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will start the background process manager in the current shell.
