Install Odoo on CentOS 7

Step 1. First, let’s start by ensuring your system is up-to-date.

yum clean all
yum -y update

Step 2. Next, you can add the EPEL repository before you can install Odoo using YUM:

Run the following command to do so:

yum install -y epel-release

Step 3. Installing the PostgreSQL database.

Install and configure PostgreSQL using the following commands:

yum install -y postgresql-server

Once it is installed and started for the first time, we have to initialize the PostgreSQL database:

postgresql-setup initdb

Now finally start the PostgreSQL database by issuing the below command:

systemctl start postgresql
systemctl enable postgresql

Step 4. Installing Odoo.

Add the Odoo YUM repository to the system:

nano /etc/yum.repos.d/odoo.repo

With the following content:

[odoo-nightly]
name=Odoo Nightly repository
baseurl=http://nightly.odoo.com/9.0/nightly/rpm/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://nightly.odoo.com/odoo.key

Now you can install Odoo using the following command:

yum install -y odoo

After the installation is completed, start Odoo and enable it to start at boot times:

systemctl start odoo
systemctl enable odoo

Open Odoo’s configuration file and uncomment the ‘admin_passwd’ line to set the admin master password:

nano /etc/odoo/openerp-server.conf
admin_passwd = YourPassword

Step 5. Configure Firewall for Odoo.

Modify the firewall rules to allow visitors to access Odoo using PostgreSQL’s default communicating port 8069:

firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-service=http
firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-port=8069/tcp
firewall-cmd --reload

Step 6. Accessing Odoo.

Odoo will be available on HTTP port 8069 by default. Open your favorite browser and navigate to http://your-domain.com:8069 or http://server-ip:8069.
