.. _setup/install: =============== Installing Odoo =============== There are multiple ways to install Odoo, or not install it at all, depending on the intended use case. This documents attempts to describe most of the installation options. :ref:`setup/install/online` The easiest way to use Odoo in production or to try it. :ref:`setup/install/packaged` Suitable for testing Odoo, developing modules and can be used for long-term production use with additional deployment and maintenance work. :ref:`setup/install/source` Provides greater flexibility: e.g. allow multiple running Odoo versions on the same system. Good for developing modules, can be used as base for production deployment. :ref:`setup/install/docker` If you usually use docker_ for development or deployment, an official docker_ base image is available. .. _setup/install/editions: Editions ======== There are two different Editions_ of Odoo: the Community and Enterprise versions. Using the Enterprise version is possible on `Odoo Online`_ and accessing the code is restricted to Enterprise customers and partners. The Community version is freely available to anyone. If you already use the Community version and wish to upgrade to Enterprise, please refer to :ref:`setup/enterprise` (except for :ref:`setup/install/source`). .. _setup/install/online: Online ====== Demo ---- To simply get a quick idea of Odoo, demo_ instances are available. They are shared instances which only live for a few hours, and can be used to browse around and try things out with no commitment. Demo_ instances require no local installation, just a web browser. Odoo Online ----------- Trivial to start with, fully managed and migrated by Odoo S.A., `Odoo Online`_ provides private instances and starts out free. It can be used to discover and test Odoo and do non-code customizations (i.e. incompatible with custom modules or the Odoo Apps Store) without having to install it locally. Can be used for both testing Odoo and long-term production use. Like demo_ instances, `Odoo Online`_ instances require no local installation, a web browser is sufficient. .. _setup/install/packaged: Packaged installers =================== Odoo provides packaged installers for Windows, deb-based distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, …) and RPM-based distributions (Fedora, CentOS, RHEL, …) for both the Community and Enterprise versions. These packages automatically set up all dependencies (for the Community version), but may be difficult to keep up-to-date. Official Community packages with all relevant dependency requirements are available on our nightly_ server. Both Community and Enterprise packages can be downloaded from our download_ page (you must to be logged in as a paying customer or partner to download the Enterprise packages). Windows ------- #. Download the installer from our nightly_ server (Community only) or the Windows installer from the download_ page (any edition). #. Execute the downloaded file. .. warning:: | On Windows 8 and later you may see a warning titled "Windows protected your PC". | Click on **More Info** and then on **Run anyway**. #. Accept the UAC_ prompt. #. Go through the various installation steps. Odoo will automatically be started at the end of the installation. Linux ----- Prepare ~~~~~~~ .. tabs:: .. group-tab:: Debian/Ubuntu Odoo needs a `PostgreSQL`_ server to run properly. The default configuration for the Odoo 'deb' package is to use the PostgreSQL server on the same host as your Odoo instance. Execute the following command in order to install the PostgreSQL server: .. code-block:: console $ sudo apt install postgresql -y .. group-tab:: Fedora Odoo needs a `PostgreSQL`_ server to run properly. Make sure that the `sudo` command is available and well configured and, only then, execute the following command in order to install the PostgreSQL server: .. code-block:: console $ sudo dnf install -y postgresql-server $ sudo postgresql-setup --initdb --unit postgresql $ sudo systemctl enable postgresql $ sudo systemctl start postgresql .. warning:: `wkhtmltopdf` is not installed through **pip** and must be installed manually in version `0.12.5 `_ for it to support headers and footers. See our `wiki `_ for more details on the various versions. Repository ~~~~~~~~~~ .. tabs:: .. group-tab:: Debian/Ubuntu Odoo S.A. provides a repository that can be used with Debian and Ubuntu distributions. It can be used to install *Odoo Community Edition* by executing the following commands: .. code-block:: console $ wget -q -O - https://nightly.odoo.com/odoo.key | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/odoo-archive-keyring.gpg $ echo 'deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/odoo-archive-keyring.gpg] https://nightly.odoo.com/16.0/nightly/deb/ ./' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/odoo.list $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install odoo You can then use the usual `apt-get upgrade` command to keep your installation up-to-date. .. group-tab:: Fedora Odoo S.A. provides a repository that can be used with the Fedora distributions. It can be used to install *Odoo Community Edition* by executing the following commands: .. code-block:: console $ sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo=https://nightly.odoo.com/16.0/nightly/rpm/odoo.repo $ sudo dnf install -y odoo $ sudo systemctl enable odoo $ sudo systemctl start odoo .. note:: At this moment, there is no nightly repository for the Enterprise Edition. Distribution package ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .. tabs:: .. group-tab:: Debian/Ubuntu Instead of using the repository as described above, the 'deb' packages for both the *Community* and *Enterprise* editions can be downloaded from the `official download page `_. .. note:: Odoo 16.0 'deb' package currently supports `Debian 11 (Bullseye)`_, `Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy)`_ or above. Next, execute the following commands **as root**: .. code-block:: console # dpkg -i # this probably fails with missing dependencies # apt-get install -f # should install the missing dependencies # dpkg -i This will install Odoo as a service, create the necessary PostgreSQL_ user and automatically start the server. .. warning:: - The `python3-xlwt` Debian package does not exists in Debian Buster nor Ubuntu 18.04. This python module is needed to export into xls format. If you need the feature, you can install it manually with: .. code-block:: console $ sudo pip3 install xlwt - The `num2words` python package does not exists in Debian Buster nor Ubuntu 18.04. Textual amounts will not be rendered by Odoo and this could cause problems with the `l10n_mx_edi` module. If you need this feature, you can install manually with: .. code-block:: console $ sudo pip3 install num2words .. group-tab:: Fedora Instead of using the repository as described above, the 'rpm' packages for both the *Community* and *Enterprise* editions can be downloaded from the `official download page `_. .. note:: Odoo 16.0 'rpm' package supports Fedora 36. Once downloaded, the package can be installed using the 'dnf' package manager: .. code-block:: console $ sudo dnf localinstall odoo_16.0.latest.noarch.rpm $ sudo systemctl enable odoo $ sudo systemctl start odoo .. _setup/install/source: Source install ============== The source "installation" is really about not installing Odoo, and running it directly from source instead. This can be more convenient for module developers as the Odoo source is more easily accessible than using packaged installation (for information or to build this documentation and have it available offline). It also makes starting and stopping Odoo more flexible and explicit than the services set up by the packaged installations, and allows overriding settings using :ref:`command-line parameters ` without needing to edit a configuration file. Finally it provides greater control over the system's set up, and allows to more easily keep (and run) multiple versions of Odoo side-by-side. Fetch the sources ----------------- There are two ways to obtain the source code of Odoo: as a zip **archive** or through **git**. Archive ~~~~~~~ Community Edition: * `Official download page `_ * `GitHub repository `_ * `Nightly server `_ Enterprise Edition: * `Official download page `_ * `GitHub repository `_ .. _setup/install/source/git: Git ~~~ The following requires `Git `_ to be installed on your machine and that you have basic knowledge of Git commands. To clone a Git repository, you must choose between cloning with HTTPS or SSH. If you do not know the difference between the two, the best option is most likely HTTPS. If you are following the :doc:`Getting started ` developer tutorial, or plan on contributing to Odoo source code, choose SSH. .. note:: **The Enterprise Git repository does not contain the full Odoo source code**. It is only a collection of extra add-ons. The main server code is in the Community version. Running the Enterprise version actually means running the server from the Community version with the addons-path option set to the folder with the Enterprise version. You need to clone both the Community and Enterprise repository to have a working Odoo Enterprise installation. See :ref:`setup/install/editions` to get access to the Enterprise repository. .. tabs:: .. group-tab:: Windows .. tabs:: .. tab:: Clone with HTTPS .. code-block:: doscon C:\> git clone https://github.com/odoo/odoo.git C:\> git clone https://github.com/odoo/enterprise.git .. tab:: Clone with SSH .. code-block:: doscon C:\> git clone git@github.com:odoo/odoo.git C:\> git clone git@github.com:odoo/enterprise.git .. group-tab:: Linux .. tabs:: .. tab:: Clone with HTTPS .. code-block:: console $ git clone https://github.com/odoo/odoo.git $ git clone https://github.com/odoo/enterprise.git .. tab:: Clone with SSH .. code-block:: console $ git clone git@github.com:odoo/odoo.git $ git clone git@github.com:odoo/enterprise.git .. group-tab:: Mac OS .. tabs:: .. tab:: Clone with HTTPS .. code-block:: console $ git clone https://github.com/odoo/odoo.git $ git clone https://github.com/odoo/enterprise.git .. tab:: Clone with SSH .. code-block:: console $ git clone git@github.com:odoo/odoo.git $ git clone git@github.com:odoo/enterprise.git .. note:: **The Enterprise git repository does not contain the full Odoo source code**.

You need to clone both the Community and Enterprise repository to have a working Odoo Enterprise installation. .. _setup/install/source/prepare: Prepare ------- Python ~~~~~~ .. tabs:: .. group-tab:: Windows Odoo requires Python 3.7 or later to run. Visit `Python's download page `_ to download and install the latest version of Python 3 on your machine. During installation, check **Add Python 3 to PATH**, then click **Customize Installation** and make sure that **pip** is checked. .. note:: If Python 3 is already installed, make sure that the version is 3.7 or above, as previous versions are not compatible with Odoo. .. code-block:: doscon C:\> python --version Verify also that pip_ is installed for this version. .. code-block:: doscon C:\> pip --version .. group-tab:: Linux Odoo requires Python 3.7 or later to run. Use your package manager to download and install Python 3 on your machine if it is not already done. .. note:: If Python 3 is already installed, make sure that the version is 3.7 or above, as previous versions are not compatible with Odoo. .. code-block:: console $ python3 --version Verify also that pip_ is installed for this version. .. code-block:: console $ pip3 --version .. group-tab:: Mac OS Odoo requires Python 3.7 or later to run. Use your preferred package manager (homebrew_, macports_) to download and install Python 3 on your machine if it is not already done. .. note:: If Python 3 is already installed, make sure that the version is 3.7 or above, as previous versions are not compatible with Odoo. .. code-block:: console $ python3 --version Verify also that pip_ is installed for this version. .. code-block:: console $ pip3 --version PostgreSQL ~~~~~~~~~~ .. tabs:: .. group-tab:: Windows Odoo uses PostgreSQL as database management system. `Download and install PostgreSQL `_ (supported version: 12.0 and later). By default, the only user is `postgres` but Odoo forbids connecting as `postgres`, so you need to create a new PostgreSQL user: #. Add PostgreSQL's `bin` directory (by default: :file:`C:\\Program Files\\PostgreSQL\\\\bin`) to your `PATH`. #. Create a postgres user with a password using the pg admin gui: 1. Open **pgAdmin**. 2. Double-click the server to create a connection. 3. Select :menuselection:`Object --> Create --> Login/Group Role`. 4. Enter the username in the **Role Name** field (e.g. `odoo`). 5. Open the **Definition** tab and enter the password (e.g. `odoo`), then click **Save**. 6. Open the **Privileges** tab and switch **Can login?** to `Yes` and **Create database?** to `Yes`. .. group-tab:: Linux Odoo uses PostgreSQL as database management system. Use your package manager to download and install PostgreSQL (supported version: 12.0 and later). It can be achieved by executing the following: .. code-block:: console $ sudo apt install postgresql postgresql-client By default, the only user is `postgres` but Odoo forbids connecting as `postgres`, so you need to create a new PostgreSQL user: .. code-block:: console $ sudo -u postgres createuser -s $USER $ createdb $USER .. note:: Because your PostgreSQL user has the same name as your Unix login, you will be able to connect to the database without password. .. group-tab:: Mac OS Odoo uses PostgreSQL as database management system. Use `postgres.app `_ to download and install PostgreSQL (supported version: 12.0 and later). .. tip:: To make the command line tools bundled with `postgres.app` available, make sure to setup your `$PATH` variable by following the `Postgres.app CLI Tools Instructions `_. By default, the only user is `postgres` but Odoo forbids connecting as `postgres`, so you need to create a new PostgreSQL user: .. code-block:: console $ sudo -u postgres createuser -s $USER $ createdb $USER .. note:: Because your PostgreSQL user has the same name as your Unix login, you will be able to connect to the database without password. .. _install/dependencies: Dependencies ~~~~~~~~~~~~ .. tabs:: .. group-tab:: Windows Before installing the dependencies, you must download and install the `Build Tools for Visual Studio `_. When prompted, select **C++ build tools** in the **Workloads** tab and install them. Odoo dependencies are listed in the `requirements.txt` file located at the root of the Odoo community directory. .. tip:: It can be preferable to not mix python modules packages between different instances of Odoo or with your system. You can use virtualenv_ to create isolated Python environments. Navigate to the path of your Odoo Community installation (`CommunityPath`) and run **pip** on the requirements file in a terminal **with Administrator privileges**: .. code-block:: doscon C:\> cd \CommunityPath C:\> pip install setuptools wheel C:\> pip install -r requirements.txt For languages with right-to-left interface (such as Arabic or Hebrew), the package `rtlcss` is needed: #. Download and install `nodejs `_. #. Install `rtlcss`: .. code-block:: doscon C:\> npm install -g rtlcss #. Edit the System Environment's variable `PATH` to add the folder where `rtlcss.cmd` is located (typically: :file:`C:\\Users\\\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\`). .. group-tab:: Linux Using your **distribution packages** is the preferred way of installing dependencies. Alternatively, you can install the python dependencies with **pip**. .. tabs:: .. tab:: Debian/Ubuntu For Debian-based systems, the packages are listed in the `debian/control `_ file of the Odoo sources. On Debian/Ubuntu, the following commands should install the required packages: .. code-block:: console $ cd /CommunityPath $ sed -n -e '/^Depends:/,/^Pre/ s/ python3-\(.*\),/python3-\1/p' debian/control | sudo xargs apt-get install -y .. tab:: Install with pip As some of the python packages need a compilation step, they require system libraries to be installed. On Debian/Ubuntu-based systems, the following command should install these required libraries: .. code-block:: console $ sudo apt install python3-pip libldap2-dev libpq-dev libsasl2-dev Odoo dependencies are listed in the :file:`requirements.txt` file located at the root of the Odoo community directory. .. note:: | The python packages in :file:`requirements.txt` are based on their stable/LTS Debian/Ubuntu corresponding version at the moment of the Odoo release. | E.g., for Odoo 15.0, the `python3-babel` package version is 2.8.0 in Debian Bullseye and 2.6.0 in Ubuntu Focal. The lowest version is then chosen in the :file:`requirements.txt`. .. tip:: It can be preferable to not mix python modules packages between different instances of Odoo or with your system. You can use virtualenv_ to create isolated Python environments. Navigate to the path of your Odoo Community installation (:file:`CommunityPath`) and run **pip** on the requirements file to install the requirements for the current user. .. code-block:: console $ cd /CommunityPath $ pip install -r requirements.txt For languages with right-to-left interface (such as Arabic or Hebrew), the package `rtlcss` is needed: #. Download and install **nodejs** and **npm** with your package manager. #. Install `rtlcss`: .. code-block:: console $ sudo npm install -g rtlcss .. group-tab:: Mac OS Odoo dependencies are listed in the `requirements.txt` file located at the root of the Odoo community directory. .. tip:: It can be preferable to not mix python modules packages between different instances of Odoo or with your system. You can use virtualenv_ to create isolated Python environments. Navigate to the path of your Odoo Community installation (`CommunityPath`) and run **pip** on the requirements file: .. code-block:: console $ cd /CommunityPath $ pip3 install setuptools wheel $ pip3 install -r requirements.txt .. warning:: Non-Python dependencies need to be installed with a package manager: #. Download and install the **Command Line Tools**: .. code-block:: console $ xcode-select --install #. Download and install the package manager of your choice (homebrew_, macports_). #. Install non-python dependencies. For languages with right-to-left interface (such as Arabic or Hebrew), the package `rtlcss` is needed: #. Download and install **nodejs** with your preferred package manager (homebrew_, macports_). #. Install `rtlcss`: .. code-block:: console $ sudo npm install -g rtlcss .. important:: `wkhtmltopdf` is not installed through **pip** and must be installed manually in version `0.12.5 `_ for it to support headers and footers. See our `wiki `_ for more details on the various versions. Running Odoo ------------ Once all dependencies are set up, Odoo can be launched by running `odoo-bin`, the command-line interface of the server. It is located at the root of the Odoo Community directory. To configure the server, you can either specify :ref:`command-line arguments ` or a :ref:`configuration file `. .. tip:: For the Enterprise edition, you must add the path to the `enterprise` addons to the `addons-path` argument. Note that it must come before the other paths in `addons-path` for addons to be loaded correctly. Common necessary configurations are: - PostgreSQL user and password. - Custom addon paths beyond the defaults, to load your own modules. A typical way to run the server would be: .. tabs:: .. group-tab:: Windows .. code-block:: doscon C:\> cd CommunityPath/ C:\> python odoo-bin -r dbuser -w dbpassword --addons-path=addons -d mydb Where `CommunityPath` is the path of the Odoo Community installation, `dbuser` is the PostgreSQL login, `dbpassword` is the PostgreSQL password, and `mydb` is the name of the PostgreSQL database. .. group-tab:: Linux .. code-block:: console $ cd /CommunityPath $ python3 odoo-bin --addons-path=addons -d mydb Where `CommunityPath` is the path of the Odoo Community installation, and `mydb` is the name of the PostgreSQL database. .. group-tab:: Mac OS .. code-block:: console $ cd /CommunityPath $ python3 odoo-bin --addons-path=addons -d mydb Where `CommunityPath` is the path of the Odoo Community installation, and `mydb` is the name of the PostgreSQL database. After the server has started (the INFO log `odoo.modules.loading: Modules loaded.` is printed), open http://localhost:8069 in your web browser and log in with the base administrator account: Use `admin` for the :guilabel:`Email` and, again, `admin` for the :guilabel:`Password`. That's it, you just logged into your own Odoo database! .. tip:: - From there, you can create and manage new :doc:`users `. - The user account you use to log into Odoo's web interface differs from the :option:`--db_user ` CLI argument. .. seealso:: :doc:`The exhaustive list of CLI arguments for odoo-bin `. .. _setup/install/docker: Docker ====== The full documentation on how to use Odoo with Docker can be found on the official Odoo `docker image `_ page. .. _Debian 11 (Bullseye): https://www.debian.org/releases/bullseye/ .. _demo: https://demo.odoo.com .. _docker: https://www.docker.com .. _download: https://www.odoo.com/page/download .. _Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy): https://releases.ubuntu.com/22.04/ .. _EPEL: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL .. _PostgreSQL: https://www.postgresql.org .. _the official installer: .. _install pip: https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing.html#install-pip .. _Quilt: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quilt_(software) .. _Odoo Online: https://www.odoo.com/page/start .. _the wkhtmltopdf download page: https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/releases/tag/0.12.5 .. _UAC: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Account_Control .. _wkhtmltopdf: https://wkhtmltopdf.org .. _pip: https://pip.pypa.io .. _macports: https://www.macports.org .. _homebrew: https://brew.sh .. _wheels: https://wheel.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ .. _virtualenv: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv .. _virtualenvwrapper: https://virtualenvwrapper.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ .. _pywin32: https://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/ .. _community-repository: https://github.com/odoo/odoo .. _enterprise-repository: https://github.com/odoo/enterprise .. _Editions: https://www.odoo.com/pricing#pricing_table_features .. _nightly: https://nightly.odoo.com/ .. _extra: https://nightly.odoo.com/extra/
