Odoo is an open-source ERP software that enables business management solutions for all types of businesses. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the installation of Odoo on Kali Linux.
Before we start with the Odoo installation, update all Kali Linux packages to their latest versions. To do this, open a terminal and enter the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
After successfully upgrading all packages, reboot your system for the changes to take effect.
Odoo stores all data in a PostgreSQL database. If you don't have PostgreSQL installed already, follow these commands to install it:
sudo apt install postgresql postgresql-contrib
To check if PostgreSQL is installed and running, execute the following command:
sudo systemctl status postgresql.service
If the status shows 'active (running)', the PostgreSQL service is up and running.
Next, we need to install dependencies required for Odoo installation. Execute the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt install python3 python3-pip python3-dev python3-venv python3-wheel build-essential libxslt-dev libzip-dev libldap2-dev libsasl2-dev python3-setuptools nodejs npm node-less
Now, download the latest version of Odoo from the official website. Use the following commands to download and install Odoo:
wget https://nightly.odoo.com/14.0/nightly/src/odoo_14.0.latest.tar.gz
tar -xvzf odoo_14.0.latest.tar.gz
cd odoo-14.0-<version>
sudo python3 setup.py install
After installing Odoo, navigate to the configuration file and open it using a text editor. Find the following lines and comment them out by adding a hashtag (#) at the beginning of each line:
#dbfilter = ^%d$
#logfile = /var/log/odoo/odoo-server.log
Save the file and exit the text editor.
Create a new PostgreSQL user and database for Odoo installation. Use the following commands to log in to PostgreSQL and create a new database and user:
sudo su - postgres
createuser --createdb <odoo_username>
createdb --encoding UNICODE --owner=<odoo_username> <odoo_database_name>
exit
Now, we're all set to start the Odoo server. Navigate to the Odoo installation directory and run the following command:
./odoo-bin --addons-path=addons,./myaddons --database=<odoo_database_name> --db-filter=<odoo_database_name> --longpolling-port=8072 -i <odoo_module_name> -u <odoo_module_name>
Replace '
That's it! You've successfully installed Odoo on your Kali Linux machine. You can access your Odoo installation by opening a web browser and entering 'localhost:8069' in the address bar.
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!
