To install Odoo from a source, you need to follow these steps:
- Run the following commands to install the main dependencies:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install -y git python3.5 postgresql nano virtualenv xz-utils wget fontconfig libfreetype6 libx11-6 libxext6 libxrender1 xfonts-75dpi
Odoo v12 has moved from less to scss for stylesheet preprocessing. Consequently, if you are using <v12, then you need to install node-less node-clean-css in order to get the correct stylesheets.
- Download and install wkhtmltopdf:
$ wget -O wkhtmltox.tar.xz https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/releases/download/0.12.4/wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz
$ tar xvf wkhtmltox.tar.xz
$ sudo mv wkhtmltox/lib/* /usr/local/lib/
$ sudo mv wkhtmltox/bin/* /usr/local/bin/
$ sudo mv wkhtmltox/share/man/man1 /usr/local/share/man/
- Now, use the following code to install the build dependencies:
$ sudo apt-get install -y gcc python3.5-dev libxml2-dev
libxslt1-dev libevent-dev libsasl2-dev libssl1.0-dev libldap2-dev
libpq-dev libpng-dev libjpeg-dev
- Configure PostgreSQL:
$ sudo -u postgres createuser --createdb $(whoami)
$ createdb $(whoami)
- Configure git:
$ git config --global user.name "Your Name"
$ git config --global user.email [email protected]
- Clone the Odoo code base:
$ mkdir ~/odoo-dev
$ cd ~/odoo-dev
$ git clone -b 12.0 --single-branch https://github.com/odoo/odoo.git
$ cd odoo
- Create an odoo-12.0 virtual environment and activate it:
$ virtualenv -p python3 ~/odoo-12.0
$ source ~/odoo-12.0/bin/activate
- Install the Python dependencies of Odoo in virtualenv:
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
- Create and start your first Odoo instances:
$ createdb odoo-test
$ python3 odoo-bin -d odoo-test --addons-path=addons
--db-filter=odoo-test$
