Odoo 9 Installation on Ubuntu 14.04,15.04,16.04

ODOO 9 INSTALLATION STEPS

Step 1. BUILD YOUR SERVER

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install aptitude

Step 2. INSTALL AND CONFIGURE THE DATABASE SERVER,POSTGRESQL

sudo aptitude  install postgresql

sudo su - postgres

createuser --createdb --username postgres --no-createrole --no-superuser --pwprompt odoo9
Enter password for new role: odoo9
Enter it again: odoo9

Finally exit from the postgres user account:
exit

Step 3. ADD USER

sudo useradd odoo9

Step 4. SETTING UP PYTHON

sudo aptitude install python-psycopg2 python-lxml python-setuptools python-libxslt1 python-matplotlib python-pydot python-egenix-mxdatetime python-pychart python-imaging python-imaging-tk python-dev python-yaml libyaml-dev python-reportlab python-babel

Step 5. INSTALL THE NECESSARY PYTHON LIBRARIES FOR THE SERVER

sudo apt-get install python-dateutil python-feedparser python-gdata \
python-ldap python-libxslt1 python-lxml python-mako python-openid python-psycopg2 \
python-pybabel python-pychart python-pydot python-pyparsing python-reportlab \
python-simplejson python-tz python-vatnumber python-vobject python-webdav \
python-werkzeug python-xlwt python-yaml python-zsi python-unittest2 python-mock python-docutils python-jinja2 python-decorator python-simplejson python-pyPdf

Step 6. INSTALL THE NECESSARY PYTHON PACKAGES

sudo apt-get install python-pip

sudo apt-get install python-werkzeug

sudo pip install Werkzeug-0.8.3

sudo apt-get install python-passlib

sudo apt-get install nodejs

sudo apt-get install node-less

sudo apt-get install python-psutil


Step 7. INSTALL THE ODOO SERVER

cd /opt

           wget http://nightly.odoo.com/9.0/nightly/src/odoo_9.0c.latest.zip

tar -xvf odoo_9.0c.latest.tar.gz

cd /opt/odoo-9.0c-20160517

su odoo9 -c "python openerp-server"

You can now see that the server has started. If there are any problems starting the server you need to go back and check. There is really no point ploughing on if the server doesn't start.

Now point your web browser at the domain or IP address of your Odoo server (or localhost if you are on the same machine) and use port 8069. The url will look something like this:

http://IP_or_domain.com:8069

Now enter CTRL+C to stop the server.

Step 8. CONFIGURE ODOO SERVER

Create a default configuration file for the server. Use your favourite text editor here. I tend to use nano, e.g.

sudo nano /etc/odoo-server.conf

[options]
; This is the password that allows database operations:
admin_passwd = admin
db_host = False
db_port = False
db_user = openerp8
db_password = False
xmlrpcs_port = 8071
netrpc_port = 8070
xmlrpc_port = 8069              
logfile = /var/log/odoo-server.log
addons_path=/var/lib/odoo/addons/9.0,/opt/odoo-9.0c-20160517/openerp/addons

Once the configuration file is edited you can save it. Create a log file using touch command and give permissions to it.

touch /var/log/odoo-server.log

chmod 777 -R /var/log/odoo-server.log

Step 9. MAKE ODOO SERVER START AND STOP

Create openerpservicestart.sh & openerpstart.sh in opt

cd /opt

nano /opt/openerpservicestart.sh

#!/bin/bash
sh /opt/openerpstart.sh &
exit

nano /opt/openerpstart.sh

#!/bin/bash
su odoo9 -c "python /opt/odoo-9.0c-20160517/openerp-server -c /etc/odoo-server.conf > /var/log/odoo-server.log"
exit

That's it! You can kill python service and restart is using sh openerpservicestart.sh
Now I would suggest you to open your web browser and create a new database filling in the fields as desired.
