"static" folder - where/how are the files created there?

[barrowkwan]

are the files generated ( or copied ) to the static folder when I run "invoke update" during the initial setup?

if so, I will assume I will need to run "invoke update" on every upgrade of inventree to ensure new files from the new releases are generated/copied ) right?

It depends on your install method. If you are using docker, they are compiled into the image. So they just need to be copied across from the image - which happens when you run invoke update
