+# Install odoo on linux
+
+> Tested on Ubuntu 18
+
+
+##### 2) Install Python, postgresql and needed modules
+
+Python 2.7 and 3 come pre-installed  but you'll need to add pip
+
+```
+sudo apt-get install python-pip
+sudo apt-get install postgresql
+sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libldap2-dev libsasl2-dev libssl-dev -y
+sudo apt-get install libtiff5-dev libjpeg8-dev zlib1g-dev libfreetype6-dev liblcms2-dev libwebp-dev tcl8.6-dev tk8.6-dev python-tk
+```
+
+##### 3) Add postgresql to system startup
+
+```
+##### 4) install less compiler
+
+```
+$ sudo apt-get install npm
+$ sudo npm install -g less less-plugin-clean-css
+```
+
+##### 5) setup odoo environment
+
+I recommend using [virtualenvwrapper](http://virtualenvwrapper.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html)
+
+```
+$ mkvirtualenv odoo -p /path/to/python2.7  # generally /usr/bin/python2.7
+$ which python  # should return:
+/Users/<user>/.virtualenvs/odoo/bin/python
+```
+Use `deactivate` to get out of odoo environment, use `workon odoo` to activate the environment.
+
+##### 6) clone odoo
+
+```
+$ cd ~/projects
+$ git clone https://github.com/odoo/odoo.git odoo
+```
+
+##### 7) Install odoo requirements
+
+```
+$ cd odoo
+$ git checkout 9.0
+$ pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+# we need to upgrade psycopg2
+pip uninstall psycopg2
+pip install --no-binary :all: psycopg2
+```
+
+You should now be able to start a simple odoo instance with `./odoo/odoo.py`
+
