🔗 to install wkhtmltopdf ubuntu 18.04 Compatible with odoo 11wk.

There are multiple ways to install Odoo, or not install it at all, dependingon the intended use case.

This documents attempts to describe most of the installation options.

Online

The easiest way to use Odoo in production or to try it.

Packaged installers

Suitable for testing Odoo, developing modules and can be used forlong-term production use with additional deployment and maintenance work.

Source Install

Provides greater flexibility: e.g. allow multiple running Odoo versions onthe same system. Good for developing modules, can be used as base forproduction deployment.

Docker

If you usually use docker for development or deployment, an officialdocker base image is available.

Editions

There are two different Editions of Odoo: the Community and Enterprise versions.Using the Enterprise version is possible on our SaaS and accessing the code isrestricted to Enterprise customers and partners. The Community version is freelyavailable to anyone.

If you already use the Community version and wish to upgrade to Enterprise, pleaserefer to From Community to Enterprise (except for Source Install).

Online

Demo

To simply get a quick idea of Odoo, demo instances are available. They areshared instances which only live for a few hours, and can be used to browsearound and try things out with no commitment.

Demo instances require no local installation, just a web browser.

SaaS

Trivial to start with, fully managed and migrated by Odoo S.A., Odoo’s SaaSprovides private instances and starts out free. It can be used to discover andtest Odoo and do non-code customizations (i.e. incompatible with custom modulesor the Odoo Apps Store) without having to install it locally.

Can be used for both testing Odoo and long-term production use.

Like demo instances, SaaS instances require no local installation, a webbrowser is sufficient.

Packaged installers

Odoo provides packaged installers for Windows, deb-based distributions(Debian, Ubuntu, …) and RPM-based distributions (Fedora, CentOS, RHEL, …) forboth the Community and Enterprise versions.

These packages automatically set up all dependencies (for the Community version),but may be difficult to keep up-to-date.

Official Community packages with all relevant dependency requirements areavailable on our nightly server. Both Communtiy and Enterprise packages canbe downloaded from our Download page (you must to be logged in as a payingcustomer or partner to download the Enterprise packages).

Windows

• Download the installer from our nightly server (Community only)or the Windows installer from the Download page (any edition)

• Run the downloaded file

  Warning

  on Windows 8, you may see a warning titled “Windows protectedyour PC”. Click More Info thenRun anyway

• Accept the UAC prompt
• Go through the various installation steps

Odoo will automatically be started at the end of the installation.

Debian/Ubuntu

Odoo 11.0 ‘deb’ package currently supports Debian Stretch, Ubuntu Xenial,Ubuntu Zesty and Ubuntu Artful.

Prepare

Odoo needs a PostgreSQL server to run properly. The default configuration forthe Odoo ‘deb’ package is to use the PostgreSQL server on the same host as yourOdoo instance. Execute the following command as root in order to installPostgreSQL server :

In order to print PDF reports, you must install wkhtmltopdf yourself:the version of wkhtmltopdf available in debian repositories does not supportheaders and footers so it can not be installed automatically.The recommended version is 0.12.1 and is available on the wkhtmltopdf download page,in the archive section.

Wkhtmltopdf Install Ubuntu

Repository

Odoo S.A. provides a repository that can be used with Debian and Ubuntudistributions. It can be used to install Odoo Community Edition by executing thefollowing commands as root:

You can then use the usual apt-get upgrade command to keep your installation up-to-date.

At this moment, there is no repository for the Enterprise Edition.

Deb Package

Instead of using the repository as described above, the ‘deb’ package can bedownloaded here:

• Community Edition: nightly
• Enterprise Edition Download

You can then use gdebi:

Or dpkg (handles less dependencies automatically):

This will install Odoo as a service, create the necessary PostgreSQL userand automatically start the server.

Warning

The 3 following python packages are only suggested by the Debian package.Those packages are not available in Ubuntu Xenial (16.04).

• python3-vobject: Used in calendars to produce ical files.
• python3-pyldap: Used to authenticat users with LDAP.
• python3-qrcode: Used by the hardware driver for ESC/POS

If you need one or all of the packages mentioned in the above warning, you can install them manually.One way to do it, is simply using pip3 like this:

Warning

Debian 9 and Ubuntu do not provide a package for the python modulenum2words.Textual amounts will not be rendered by Odoo and this could causeproblems with the “l10n_mx_edi” module.

If you need this feature, you can install the python module like this:

Fedora

Odoo 11.0 ‘rpm’ package supports Fedora 26.As of 2017, CentOS does not have the minimum Python requirements (3.5) forOdoo 11.0.

Prepare

Odoo needs a PostgreSQL server to run properly. Assuming that the ‘sudo’command is available and configured properly, run the following commands :

In order to print PDF reports, you must install wkhtmltopdf yourself:the version of wkhtmltopdf available in Debian repositories doesnot support headers and footers so it is not used as a direct dependency.The recommended version is 0.12.5 and is available onthe wkhtmltopdf download page, in the archive section. Previouslyrecommended version 0.12.1 is a good alternative.More details on the various versions and their respective quirks can befound in our wiki.

Repository

Odoo S.A. provides a repository that can be used with the Fedora distibutions.It can be used to install Odoo Community Edition by executing the followingcommands:

RPM package

Instead of using the repository as described above, the ‘rpm’ package can bedownloaded here:

• Community Edition: nightly
• Enterprise Edition Download

Once downloaded, the package can be installed using the ‘dnf’ package manager:

Source Install

The source “installation” really is about not installing Odoo, and runningit directly from source instead.

This can be more convenient for module developers as the Odoo source ismore easily accessible than using packaged installation (for information orto build this documentation and have it available offline).

It also makes starting and stopping Odoo more flexible and explicit than theservices set up by the packaged installations, and allows overriding settingsusing command-line parameters without needing toedit a configuration file.

Finally it provides greater control over the system’s set up, and allows moreeasily keeping (and running) multiple versions of Odoo side-by-side.

Prepare

Source installation requires manually installing dependencies:

• Python 3.5+.

  • on Linux and OS X, using your package manager if not installed by default

    Note

    on some system, python command refers to Python 2 (outdated)or to Python 3 (supported). Make sure you are using the rightversion and that the alias python3 is present in yourPATH

  • on Windows, use the official Python 3 installer.

    Warning

    select “add python.exe to Path” during installation, andreboot afterwards to ensure the PATH is updated

    Note

    if Python is already installed, make sure it is 3.5 or above,previous versions are not compatible with Odoo.

• PostgreSQL, to use a local database

  After installation you will need to create a postgres user: by default theonly user is postgres, and Odoo forbids connecting as postgres.

  • on Linux, use your distribution’s package, then create a postgres usernamed like your login:

    Because the role login is the same as your unix login unix sockets can beuse without a password.

  • on OS X, postgres.app is the simplest way toget started, then create a postgres user as on Linux

  • on Windows, use PostgreSQL for windows then

    • add PostgreSQL’s bin directory (default:C:Program FilesPostgreSQL9.4bin) to your PATH

    • create a postgres user with a password using the pg admin gui: openpgAdminIII, double-click the server to create a connection, selectEdit ‣ New Object ‣ New Login Role, enter theusename in the Role Name field (e.g. odoo), then openthe Definition tab and enter the password (e.g. odoo),then click OK.

      The user and password must be passed to Odoo using either the-w and -r options orthe configuration file

• Python dependencies listed in the requirements.txt file.

  • on Linux, python dependencies may be installable with the system’s packagemanager or using pip.

    For libraries using native code (Pillow, lxml, greenlet, gevent, psycopg2,ldap) it may be necessary to install development tools and nativedependencies before pip is able to install the dependencies themselves.These are available in -dev or -devel packages for Python,Postgres, libxml2, libxslt, libevent, libsasl2 and libldap2. Then the Pythondependecies can themselves be installed:

  • on OS X, you will need to install the Command Line Tools(xcode-select --install) then download and install a package managerof your choice (homebrew, macports) to install non-Python dependencies.pip can then be used to install the Python dependencies as on Linux:

  • on Windows you need to install some of the dependencies manually, tweak therequirements.txt file, then run pip to install the remaning ones.

    Install psycopg using the installer herehttp://www.stickpeople.com/projects/python/win-psycopg/

    Then use pip to install the dependencies using the followingcommand from a cmd.exe prompt (replace YourOdooPath by the actualpath where you downloaded Odoo):

• Less CSS via nodejs

  • on Linux, use your distribution’s package manager to install nodejs andnpm.

    Warning

    In debian wheezy and Ubuntu 13.10 and before you need to installnodejs manually:

    In later debian (>jessie) and ubuntu (>14.04) you may need to add asymlink as npm packages call node but debian calls the binarynodejs

    Once npm is installed, use it to install less:

  • on OS X, install nodejs via your preferred package manager (homebrew,macports) then install less:

  • on Windows, install nodejs, reboot (toupdate the PATH) and install less:

Fetch the sources

There are two ways to obtain the Odoo source code: zip or git.

• Odoo zip can be downloaded from our nightly server or our Download page,the zip file then needs to be uncompressed to use its content
• git allows simpler update and easier switching between different versionsof Odoo. It also simplifies maintaining non-module patches andcontributions. The primary drawback of git is that it is significantlylarger than a tarball as it contains the entire history of the Odoo project.

Community Edition

The git repository is https://github.com/odoo/odoo.git for the Communityedition.

Downloading it requires a git client(which may be available via your distribution on linux) and can be performedusing the following command:

Enterprise Edition

If you have access to the Enterprise repository (see Editionsif you wish to get access), you can use this command to fetch the addons:

Note

The Enterprise git repository does not contain the full Odoosource code. It is only a collection of extra add-ons. The main servercode is in the Community version. Running the Enterprise version actuallymeans running the server from the Community version with the addons-path optionset to the folder with the Enterprise version.

You need to clone both the Community and Enterprise repository to have a workingOdoo installation

Running Odoo

Once all dependencies are set up, Odoo can be launched by running odoo-bin.

Tip

For the Enterprise edition, you must specify the enterpriseaddons folder when starting your server. You can do so by providing the pathto your enterprise folder in the addons-path parameter. Pleasenote that the enterprise folder must come before the defaultaddons folder in the list for the addons to be loaded correctly.

Configuration can be provided either throughcommand-line arguments or through aconfiguration file.

Common necessary configurations are:

• PostgreSQL host, port, user and password.

  Odoo has no defaults beyondpsycopg2’s defaults: connectsover a UNIX socket on port 5432 with the current user and no password. Bydefault this should work on Linux and OS X, but it will not work onwindows as it does not support UNIX sockets.

• Custom addons path beyond the defaults, to load your own modules

Under Windows a typical way to execute odoo would be:

Where odoo, odoo are the postgresql login and passwordand mydb the default db to serve on localhost:8069. You can add otherdirectory paths separated by a comma to addons at the end of the addons-path option.

Under Unix a typical way to execute odoo would be:

Where mydb is the default db to serve on localhost:8069. You can add otherdirectory paths separated by a comma to addons at the end of the addons-path option.

Virtualenv

Virtualenv is a tool to create Python isolated environments because it’ssometimes preferable to not mix your distribution python modules packageswith globally installed python modules with pip.

This section will explain how to run Odoo in a such isolated Python environment.

Here we are going to use virtualenvwrapper which is a set of shell scripts thatmakes the use of virtualenv easier.

The examples below are based on a Debian 9 distribution but could be adapted onany platform where virtualenvwrapper and virtualenv are able to run.

This section assumes that you obtained the Odoo sources from the zip file or thegit repository as explained above. The same apply for postgresql installationand configuration.

Install virtualenvwrapper

This will install virtualenvwrapper and activate it immediately.Now, let’s install the tools required to build Odoo dependencies if needed:

Create an isolated environment

Now we can create a virtual environment for Odoo like this:

With this command, we ask for an isolated Python3 environment that will be named“odoo-env”. If the command works as expected, your shell is now using thisenvironment. Your prompt should have changed to remind you that you are usingan isolated environment. You can verify with this command:

This command should show you the path to the Python interpreter located in theisolated environment directory.

Now let’s install the Odoo required python packages:

After a little while, you should be ready to run odoo from the command line asexplained above.

When you you want to leave the virtual environment, just issue this command:

Whenever you want to work again with your ‘odoo-venv’ environment:
