Odoo Development Install Scripts

These scripts are based on the install script from Yenthe Van Ginneken (Odoo Install Script). The original script is splitted and modified to make room for installing Odoo in virtual environments for development.

The first script is to install machine wide requirements and the others are to install Odoo itself.

Using The Scripts

1. Install Machine Wide Requirements

Download Requirement Installation Script

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yonitjio/odoo-dev-install-scripts/main/odoo_install_req.sh

Make the script executable

chmod +x odoo_install_req.sh

Execute the script

sudo ./odoo_install_req.sh

2. Install Odoo in an virtual environment

Community edition

Download Odoo Installation Script

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yonitjio/odoo-dev-install-scripts/main/odoo_install_dev_community.sh

Make the script executable

chmod +x odoo_install_dev_community.sh

Execute the script

./odoo_install_dev_community.sh

Enterprise edition

Download Odoo Installation Script

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yonitjio/odoo-dev-install-scripts/main/odoo_install_dev_enterprise.sh

Make the script executable

chmod +x odoo_install_dev_enterprise.sh

Execute the script

./odoo_install_dev_enterprise.sh

Parameters

Some of the original parameters are removed as they are not needed (my opinion).

You can modify them the same way the original scripts.

What's Next

Up on successful installation, Odoo source code will be installed in current user home directory. E.g:

• Community edition

/home/<current_user>/odoo-dev/17.0.community

• Enterprise edition

/home/<current_user>/odoo-dev/17.0.enterprise

Tips for Beginner with VS Code

You can use the following as your launch.json file:

{
    // Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
    // Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
    // For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
    {
      "name": "Odoo",
      "type": "debugpy",
      "request": "launch",
      "program": "${workspaceRoot}/odoo/odoo-bin",
      "args": ["-c", "${workspaceFolder}/odoo.conf"],
      "gevent": false,
      "envFile": "${workspaceFolder}/debug.env",
      "console": "integratedTerminal",
      "justMyCode": false,
      "python": "${workspaceRoot}/.venv/bin/python3"
    }
  ]
}

Tips for WSL2 (Ubuntu 22.04)

1. Before running odoo_install_req.sh, edit the file and change line 9 from OE_USER=$(logname) to OE_USER=${SUDO_USER:-${USER}}.
2. The script may fail to create user for PostgreSQL, if this happens you need to create the user manually:
   1. Make sure the postgresql service is running:

      sudo service postgresql start

   2. Create new user

      sudo su - postgres -c "createuser -s <CHANGE_THIS_TO_YOUR_USER_NAME>" 2> /dev/null || true

3. If you're using VS Code, you will need to install VS Code Remote Development Extension Pack or at the very least VS Code WSL Extension.
4. Postgresql may not automatically starts, to start it manually run this on your terminal:

   sudo service postgresql start
