In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Odoo on Elementary OS, the popular Linux-based operating system.
Before we begin, we need to update the system and install some dependencies:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip python3-dev python3-setuptools nodejs npm
sudo npm install -g less
Next, we will download and install Odoo from the official source:
wget https://nightly.odoo.com/14.0/nightly/deb/odoo_14.0.latest_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i odoo_14.0.latest_all.deb
Now, we need to start and enable the Odoo service:
sudo systemctl start odoo.service
sudo systemctl enable odoo.service
Check if the Odoo service is running:
sudo systemctl status odoo.service
Finally, we need to configure Odoo by creating a configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/odoo.conf
Inside the file, add the following lines:
[options]
; This is the password that allows database operations:
admin_passwd = YOUR_ADMIN_PASSWORD
db_host = False
db_port = False
db_user = odoo
db_password = False
addons_path = /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/odoo/addons
Make sure to replace YOUR_ADMIN_PASSWORD with your desired password.
Now that Odoo is installed and configured, you can access it by opening your web browser and navigating to:
http://localhost:8069/
You should see the Odoo login screen. Use the admin password you set in the previous step to log in and start using Odoo.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Odoo on Elementary OS.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
