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//.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`
