The easy way to install and manage odoo for local development. This project is successor of odoo-helper-scripts and is compatible with odoo installations made by odoo-helper-scripts.

The project is still under development.

Currently, this project could be used in parallel with odoo-helper-scripts.

Following features currently implemented:

• Server management
• Database management
• Basic addons management (fetch/install/update/uninstall)
• Running tests
• CI utils (versions, forwardports, etc)
• Postgres utils
• Doc utils
• Linters - use pre-commit and per-repo configurations, instead of directly running linters

This is the recommended way to install Odood.

1. Download package for your os from Releases
2. Install downloaded debian package
3. Run odood --help to get info about available commands

Note, that this way is mostly useful for development of Odood, and requires significant RAM amount to build Odood. Better, download and install it as debian package.

If you want to install it locally from source, follow steps below:

0. Clone this repository and checkout in the repository root.
1. Install system dependencies for this project (you can check lists of depenencies here).
2. Install DLang compiler
3. Build Odood with command dub build -b release. After build completed, there will be generated binary odood in build directory.
4. Link Odoo binary to bin directory:
   • Assume that current working directory is Odood source code root.
   • mkdir -p ~/bin
   • ln -s "$(pwd)/build/odood" ~/bin/
5. Run odood --help to get info about available commands

The only thing needed to manage odoo-helper project with Odood is to run command odood discover odoo-helper somewhere inside odoo-helper project.

Use following command to create new local odoo instance:

odood init -v 17 -i odoo-17.0 --db-user=odoo17 --db-password=odoo --http-port=17069 --create-db-user

This command will create new virtual environment for Odoo and install odoo there. Also, this command will automatically create database user for this Odoo instance.

Next, change current working directory to directory where we installed Odoo:

cd odoo-17.0

After this, just run command:

odood browse

and it will automatically start Odoo and open it in browser.

Next, you can use following commands to manage server:

odood server start
odood server stop
odood server restart
odood server log

Next, let's create some test database with pre-installed CRM module for this instance:

odood db create --demo my-test-database --install=crm

After this command, you will have created odoo database my-test-database with already installed module crm.

Additionally you can manage odoo addons from commandline via command odood addons. See help for this command for more info:

odood addons --help
