Installation

Overview

Installation of Odoo is really easy. We built a comprehensive library of best practices coded into a human readable installation protocol language called Ansible. Those protocols are well commented so you might find all the information you need right at the source.

What you need for a kickstart is:

1
2
3
4
5
ubuntu 14.04 LTS # A local Virtual Machine is recommended, you can find some preconfigured boxes at vagrant.com/odoo
if Windows == True: Oracle VirtualBox
sudo apt-get install ansible # you cann browse available protocols ("playbooks") here: www.github.com/odoo/playbooks
# Probably you should adapt them to your needs, they are all very well commented
ansible go # that's it

Dev-Tools

If you want start coding, we collected here some tools we love:

  • Pycharm
  • Vim
  • Vagrant/Docker Environment
