4.  Here we are going to discuss how to install Odoo ERP version 11 in ubuntu 16.04
 Step 1: Update The Server
• Make your system Updated using these two commands
• sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get upgrade

5.  Step 2: Secure Server
• It is common for all versions and many of you may be aware of this, but I'm still including this.
• Run this command to make your server/system remotely accessible
• sudo apt-get install openssh-server fail2ban

6.  Step 3: Create a System User
 Create a system user to run Odoo service. The source code off Odoo will reside in the home
directory of this user if you follow these steps
 sudo adduser --system --home=/opt/odoo --group odoo

7.  Step 4: Install and Configure PostgresQL database server
 Install PostgreSQL:
sudo apt-get install postgresql
 Then switch into the postgres user:
sudo su - postgres
 Create a postgresql user for managing Odoo databases:
create user --createdb --username postgres --no-createrole --no-superuser --pwprompt odoo
 Exit from postgres user to continue the installation:
Exit

8.  Step 5: Install dependencies for Odoo
 For the better performance of Odoo, we need Python 3.
We will be installing these dependencies on Python 3. We need pip version 3 for that.
 Install pip 3:
sudo apt-get install -y python3-pip
 After the successful installation of pip3, Install dependencies using pip3:
sudo pip3 install Babel decorator docutils ebaysdk feedparser gevent greenlet html2text Jinja2 lxml Mako
MarkupSafe mock num2words ofxparse passlib Pillow psutil psycogreen psycopg2 pydot pyparsing PyPDF2
pyserial python-dateutil python-openid pytz pyusb PyYAML qrcode reportlab requests six suds-jurko vatnumber
vobject Werkzeug XlsxWriter xlwt xlrd

9.  There are some web dependencies for Odoo. like, Node.js and less
Install these web dependencies:
sudo apt-get install -y npm
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node
sudo npm install -g less less-plugin-clean-css
sudo apt-get install -y node-less
 wkhtmltopdf is required to generate PDF reports from Odoo. Install wkhtmltopdf in your server.
Most compatible version of wkhtmltopdf is 0.12.1

10.  Get it from here,
sudo wget http://download.gna.org/wkhtmltopdf/0.12/0.12.1/wkhtmltox-0.12.1_linux-trusty-amd64.deb
 Or from here,
sudo wget https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/releases/download/0.12.1/wkhtmltox-0.12.1_linux-
trusty-amd64.deb

11.  These two commands will trigger the downloading of the package
If these both ain’t worked for you, There is another version maintained by Odoo. You can download tha
form here.
 Install the package after downloading.
sudo dpkg -i wkhtmltox-0.12.1_linux-trusty-amd64.deb
 Then run these two commands for ensure the smooth working of the package
sudo cp /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf /usr/bin
sudo cp /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltoimage /usr/bin

12.  Step 6: Get Odoo
 We can either download from the Odoo’s website or Clone from Github repo
 Here we are cloning from Git.
So, First we have to install Git
sudo apt-get install git
 Now, We should change our use as the system user we created for Odoo. otherwise we will end up
with access right related problems.
sudo su - odoo -s /bin/bash
 Now we are ready to clone Odoo 11 (this is community only)
git clone https://www.github.com/odoo/odoo --depth 1 --branch 10.0 --single-branch .
Note the '. ' at the end of the command.
This will download Odoo source files to the home directory of the user (/opt/odoo).

13.  Step 7: Configure Odoo
 At first, We are creating a log file location for Odoo. there Odoo will create and maintain its log.
sudo mkdir /var/log/odoo
 Give the full access of this directory to the odoo user
sudo chown odoo:root /var/log/odoo
 After creating log directory, we going to create a configuration file for Odoo.
There is a configuration files that comes with the Odoo we just downloaded.
We are copying that file to a more appropriate location
sudo cp /opt/odoo/debian/odoo.conf /etc/odoo.conf
 We have to make some changes in the configuration file, to edit the file we are using a text editor
called nano
sudo nano /etc/odoo.conf

14. Here is the example for the configuration file
[options]
; This is the password that allows database operations:
; admin_passwd = admin
db_host = False
db_port = False
db_user = odoo
db_password = False
addons_path = /opt/odoo/addons
logfile = /var/log/odoo/odoo.log

15.  After the configuration file is ready, We have to give the ownership of the file to the Odoo
user
sudo chown odoo: /etc/odoo.conf
sudo chmod 640 /etc/odoo.conf

16.  Step 8: Create a service to run Odoo
We have to create a systemd unit for Odoo So that it behaves like a service.
Create a new file odoo.service at /etc/systemd/system/ just like we created the odoo.conf file
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/odoo.service
 You can use this content for your file
[Unit]
Description=Odoo
Documentation=http://www.odoo.com
[Service]
# Ubuntu/Debian convention:
Type=simple
User=odoo
ExecStart=/opt/odoo/odoo-bin -c /etc/odoo.conf
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

17.  Since this is a service, we are giving the full rights on this file to root user.
sudo chmod 755 /etc/systemd/system/odoo.service
sudo chown root: /etc/systemd/system/odoo.service

18.  Step 9: Test Odoo
Start the Odoo service
sudo systemctl start odoo.service
You can check the log file of Odoo
sudo tail -f /var/log/odoo/odoo.log

19.  Step 10: Automating Starting of Odoo
 This will enable the Odoo service to automatically start on boot
sudo systemctl enable odoo-server
 Step 11: Access Odoo
 Open a new browser window and enter
http://<your_domain_or_IP_address>:8069 in the address bar
If everything is working properly, you will redirect to Odoo's database creation
page.
