Vuna Sourcing installs like any other Frappe app. It needs ERPNext on the same site.

## Frappe Cloud

1. In your bench group, open **Apps → Add App → Add from GitHub**.
2. Enter `https://github.com/navariltd/vuna_sourcing` and choose the `develop` branch.
3. Deploy the bench group, then install **Vuna Sourcing** on your site.



## Self Hosting

```bash

bench  get-app  https://github.com/navariltd/vuna_sourcing  --branch  develop

bench  --site [your-site] install-app vuna_sourcing

bench  build  --app  vuna_sourcing

bench  restart

```



## What the Installer Does

- Adds the **Sourcing Portal User** role. It has no Desk access, and its home page is `/vuna-sourcing`.
- Adds custom fields to **Request for Quotation**, **Supplier Quotation**, **Sales Order** and **Sales Invoice** for bidding, awards, portal orders and credit requests.
- Adds the **Sourcing** workspace to the Desk sidebar.



## Check the Installation

1. Open `https://[your-site]/desk/sourcing`. You should see the Sourcing workspace.
2. Open `https://[your-site]/vuna-sourcing` in a private window. You should see the portal sign-in page.

The workspace counters, such as *Applications to Review* and *Credit Requests to Review*, show what is waiting for your team. Each one opens the matching filtered list.
