This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo’ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you through the step by step installation Gitlab on an Ubuntu Debian 9 (Stretch) server.
Install Odoo on Debian 9 Stretch
Step 1. Before we install any software, it’s important to make sure your system is up to date by running these following apt-get commands in the terminal:
1 2 | apt-getupdate apt-getupgrade |
Install the Postgres package from the Debian’s default repositories:
1 | apt-getinstallpostgresql |
After the installation is complete, make sure to enable the PostgreSQL server to start automatically upon server reboot with:
1 2 | systemctlenablepostgresql systemctlstartpostgresql |
In the first step, add the Odoo repository to the server. To do this, run the following commands:
1 2 | wget-O-https://nightly.odoo.com/odoo.key | apt-key add - echo"deb http://nightly.odoo.com/12.0/nightly/deb/ ./">>/etc/apt/sources.list.d/odoo.list |
Next, install Odoo using the apt-get package manager:
1 | aptinstallodoo |
After the installation completes, you can check the status of the Odoo service:
1 | systemctlstatusodoo |
Then, edit Odoo’s configuration file and set the master admin password:
1 | nano/etc/odoo/odoo.conf |
Uncomment the ‘admin_passwd’ line, and set a password as shown below:
1 | admin_passwd=YOUR_MASTER_PASSWORD |
Restart the Odoo instance for the changes to take effect:
1 | systemctlrestartodoo |
Odoo will be available on HTTP port 8069 by default. Open your favourite browser and navigate to http://your-domain.com:8069 or http://server-ip:8069.
