Installing & Managing Apps

The Apps Menu

The Apps menu (visible to administrators) lists all available modules. From here you install, update, and uninstall applications.

Installing an App

1. Click the Apps menu from the app switcher (☰) or from any module's menu bar.
2. The app store view shows available modules grouped by category. Use the search bar to find a specific app.
3. Click any app card to open its detail page. This shows:

• Description and features of the app.
• Version number and author.
• Dependencies – other apps required for this one to work.
• Screenshots (if available).

Updating Apps

When updates are available for installed apps:

1. Go to the Apps menu.
2. Click the Update button at the top of the app list.
3. Quickenerp checks for updates and shows which apps will be upgraded.
4. Click Confirm to proceed. The system may go offline briefly during the update.
5. Alternatively, you can update individual apps by opening their card and clicking Upgrade.

Note: Apps are updated on the server side by the Quickenerp team. You don't need to download anything. Updates include bug fixes, security patches, and new features.

Uninstalling an App

1. Open the app's detail page from the Apps menu.
2. Click Uninstall.
3. A confirmation dialog warns: "Uninstalling this app will delete all its data permanently."
4. If you're certain, type "YES" and click Uninstall.
5. All data belonging to that app is removed. This is permanent and irreversible.

Caution: Uninstalling an app deletes data. For example, uninstalling Sales deletes all quotations, orders, and customer invoices created in Sales. Invoices posted to Accounting remain (they are in the Accounting module), but their Sales reference is lost.

App Dependencies

Some apps depend on others. For example, the eCommerce app requires the Website app and the Sales app. Quickenerp handles this automatically:
