Odoo is a popular open-source business management software that helps companies streamline their operations and manage various aspects of their business such as accounting, project management, inventory management, CRM, e-commerce, and more. In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to install Odoo on Ubuntu 22.04.
Before we begin, let's make sure the system packages are up to date by running the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
Odoo requires a PostgreSQL database to store its data. Install PostgreSQL by running the following command:
sudo apt install postgresql
Create a new PostgreSQL user and database for Odoo by running the following commands:
sudo su - postgres -c "createuser -s odoo"
sudo su - postgres -c "createdb -O odoo odoo"
Odoo has several dependencies that need to be installed. Run the following commands to install the necessary packages:
sudo apt install python3-pip python3-dev python3-venv python3-wheel libxslt-dev libzip-dev libldap2-dev libsasl2-dev
sudo apt install python3-setuptools
sudo apt install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev
Create a system user specifically for running the Odoo service by running the following command:
sudo adduser --system --home=/opt/odoo --group odoo
Next, we will install Odoo using pip. Run the following commands:
sudo -u odoo -i
python3 -m venv odoo-venv
source odoo-venv/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install wheel
pip install odoo
deactivate
Now, create a configuration file for Odoo:
sudo nano /etc/odoo.conf
Paste the following configuration into the file:
[options] admin_passwd = adminpassword db_host = False db_port = False db_user = odoo db_password = False addons_path = /opt/odoo/addons logfile = /var/log/odoo/odoo.log
Remember to replace "adminpassword" with a secure password of your choice. Save and close the file.
Create a log file and set the appropriate permissions:
sudo mkdir /var/log/odoo
sudo chown odoo:root /var/log/odoo
To manage the Odoo service, create a systemd unit file by running the following command:
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/odoo.service
Paste the following content into the file:
[Unit] Description=Odoo Documentation=http://www.odoo.com/ [Service] # Ubuntu/Debian convention: Type=simple User=odoo ExecStart=/opt/odoo/odoo-venv/bin/python3 /opt/odoo/odoo-venv/bin/odoo -c /etc/odoo.conf [Install] WantedBy=default.target
Save and close the file.
Start the Odoo service and enable it to start automatically on system boot:
sudo systemctl start odoo
sudo systemctl enable odoo
You can now access the Odoo web interface by opening your web browser and navigating to http://your_server_ip:8069
. You should see the Odoo login page.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Odoo on Ubuntu 22.04.
