After extracting the file, navigate to the extracted directory and install Odoo by running the following command:

Step 4: Create a New Odoo User

Create a new system user for Odoo by running the following command:

sudo adduser --system --home=/opt/odoo --group odoo

Step 5: Configure the Odoo Service

Create a new service file for Odoo by running the following command:

Step 6: Configure the Odoo Configuration File
