Odoo version 11 is officially released now. You can find its Source Code for Community Edition from this GITHUB LINK<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, in this tutorial I`ll explain how to install Odoo version 11 (Community Edition) on Ubuntu 16.04, same steps can also work for previous Ubuntu version(s) till version 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\nIf Python is already installed, make sure it is 3.5 or above that, previous versions are not compatible with Odoo 11\n\n<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Open the terminal and execute below commands step-by-step to achieve excellence:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: <\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Update apt source-lists:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sudo apt-get update<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: <\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Create the Odoo user that will own and run the application<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo adduser --system --home=\/opt\/odoo --group odoo\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: <\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Install and configure the database server, PostgreSQL<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo apt-get install -y postgresql<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Once the PostgreSQL is installed, next we setup a new PostgreSQL user for our application. This user will be used for making all the database interaction form the Odoo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo service postgresql start\n\nsudo su - postgres\n\ncreateuser --createdb --username postgres --no-createrole --no-superuser --pwprompt odoo\nEnter password for new role: *****\nEnter it again:*****\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Finally exit from the postgres user account:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
exit<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 4:(Optional)<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Your Odoo server may encounter some issue(s), so I`m also mentioning few issues & their way around to fix them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FIX 1:<\/strong> You need to upgrade \u201dwkhtmltopdf\u201d to 0.12.1  You can also check this LINK<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo wget https:\/\/github.com\/wkhtmltopdf\/wkhtmltopdf\/releases\/download\/0.12.1\/wkhtmltox-0.12.1_linux-trusty-amd64.deb\n\nsudo dpkg -i wkhtmltox-0.12.1_linux-trusty-amd64.deb\n\nsudo cp \/usr\/local\/bin\/wkhtmltopdf \/usr\/bin\nsudo cp \/usr\/local\/bin\/wkhtmltoimage \/usr\/bin<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
FIX 2:<\/strong> Check if your PostgreSQL have proper encoding(UTF-8) or not, used in Odoo Application, if not you can do like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo su - postgres\n\npsql\n\nupdate pg_database set encoding = pg_char_to_encoding('UTF8');\n\n\\q\nexit<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
FIX 3: <\/strong>Set The Locale To UTF-8 For Python 3, if you are getting UnicodeEncodeError \/UnicodeDecodeError, you can fix it,as: You can also check this LINK<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Directly execute these commands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
locale-gen en_US.UTF-8\n\nexport LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_US.en LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
FIX 4:<\/strong> In postgreSQL, allow TCP connection, if you are getting error like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
psycopg2.OperationalError: FATAL: Peer authentication failed for user<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
To fix it,in \/etc\/postgresql\/9.5\/main\/pg_hba.conf<\/code> change peer to md5:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
# \"local\" is for Unix domain socket connections only\nlocal     all     all     peer<\/del> md5\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
then<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo service postgresql restart<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 5: <\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Install the necessary Python libraries & other needed libraries needed for the application:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Odoo 11 will use python 3.5(which is pre-installed on our Ubuntu), previously it uses python 2.7, so in order to install all dependent libraries easily we`ll install pip3 in our server, as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo apt-get install -y python3-pip<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Once pip3 is installed on your server, we can proceed with installing other dependent libraries using pip3 as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
pip3 install Babel decorator docutils ebaysdk feedparser gevent greenlet html2text Jinja2 lxml Mako MarkupSafe mock num2words ofxparse passlib Pillow psutil psycogreen psycopg2 pydot pyparsing PyPDF2 pyserial python-dateutil python-openid pytz pyusb PyYAML qrcode reportlab requests six suds-jurko vatnumber vobject Werkzeug XlsxWriter xlwt xlrd Pypdf2<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Next is to install Odoo Web Dependencies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo apt-get install -y npm\nsudo ln -s \/usr\/bin\/nodejs \/usr\/bin\/node\nsudo npm install -g less less-plugin-clean-css\nsudo apt-get install -y node-less<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Once all the packages are installed we are ready to proceed with installing Odoo server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 6:<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Installing ODOO version 11 Community Edition hosted on GITHUB.<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Make sure you have GIT installed on your system and if not then install with the simple command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo apt-get install -y git<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Switch to the Odoo user:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo su - odoo -s \/bin\/bash<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Clone the latest branch of Odoo, in our case it is 11.0 from Github:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
git clone https:\/\/www.github.com\/odoo\/odoo --depth 1 --branch 11.0 --single-branch<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
(This might take a little while depending on the speed of your Internet connection.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally exit from the odoo user account:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
exit<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 7:<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Next step is to create a configuration file for Odoo. But before doing so w`ll first create the directory for storing logs of Odoo server and assigning proper ownership to the directory:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo mkdir \/var\/log\/odoo\n\nsudo chown odoo:root \/var\/log\/odoo<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Next is to create the configuration file for odoo server. Odoo application will use these configuration to run so fill in the configuration as per your requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo nano \/etc\/odoo-server.conf<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
A sample configuration file will look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
[options]\n; This is the password that allows database operations:\n; admin_passwd = admin\ndb_host = False\ndb_port = False\ndb_user = odoo\ndb_password = False\nlogfile = \/var\/log\/odoo\/odoo-server.log\naddons_path = \/opt\/odoo\/addons,\/opt\/odoo\/odoo\/addons<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
(* You need to use the same password you used back in step 3.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once the configuration file is created we will set the ownership rights<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo chown odoo: \/etc\/odoo-server.conf\nsudo chmod 640 \/etc\/odoo-server.conf<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 8:<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Installing the boot script<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the final step we need to install a script which will be used to start-up & shut-down the Odoo server automatically, with the correct user. Here is a Link<\/a>, you can use this script for the same purpose, as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo nano \/etc\/init.d\/odoo-server<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Paste the same contents of this script<\/a> to this file. Once it is in the right place you will need to make it executable and owned by root:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo chmod 755 \/etc\/init.d\/odoo-server\n\nsudo chown root: \/etc\/init.d\/odoo-server<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
 <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 9:<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Testing the server<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To start the Odoo server type:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo \/etc\/init.d\/odoo-server start<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
You should now be able to view the log-file as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
tailf \/var\/log\/odoo\/odoo-server.log<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
If there are any problems in this step you need to go back and check, feel free to comment on this blog i`ll try my best to help you \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
[OPTIONAL] Also, in order to debug, you can start the server manually just to check if it actually runs well or not, as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo su – odoo -s \/bin\/bash<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\/opt\/odoo\/odoo-bin<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the log file looks OK, you can check Odoo server running on your browser with url:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
http:\/\/localhost:8069\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
BOOT SCRIPT USAGE<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\/etc\/init.d\/odoo-server {start|stop|restart\/reload|status|force-restart|force-stop}<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
