Odoo 17 source code

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Install Odoo Dependencies

Install System Dependencies

First, install necessary system packages:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git python3-pip build-essential wget python3-dev python3-venv libpq-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev zlib1g-dev libsasl2-dev libldap2-dev libjpeg-dev libjpeg8-dev liblcms2-dev libblas-dev libatlas-base-dev

Install PostgreSQL

sudo apt-get install postgresql
sudo systemctl start postgresql
sudo systemctl enable postgresql

2. Set Up PostgreSQL

Create PostgreSQL User and Database

sudo -u postgres createuser -s odoo
sudo -u postgres createdb odoo_db -O odoo

Set PostgreSQL User Password

sudo -u postgres psql
postgres=# \password odoo
Enter new password: 
postgres=# \q

3. Set Up Odoo

Clone the Odoo Repository

# git clone https://github.com/odoo/odoo.git --branch 17.0 --depth=1
cd odoo


#### Create and Activate a Virtual Environment

```bash

# python3 -m venv odoo-venv 

source odoo-venv/bin/activate

Install Python Dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Running the Odoo Server

Start the Odoo Server

./odoo-bin -c odoo.conf

Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:8081.

6. Managing the Odoo Server

Stop the Odoo Server

Press Ctrl+C in the terminal where the server is running.

Kill Running Odoo Processes

If the server is not stopping properly, you can kill the processes:

sudo pkill -f odoo

Restart the Odoo Server

./odoo-bin -c odoo.conf

Troubleshooting Tips

Server Not Starting: Ensure PostgreSQL is running and that the Odoo configuration file (odoo.conf) has the correct database user and password.
Port Conflicts: If Odoo is not starting due to port conflicts, ensure no other services are running on port 8069.
