Prepare Ubuntu
Make sure you have sudo access or logged in as root. to log in as a root you need to run below command and
provide the system password.

sudo su

We will update the ubuntu with the latest version of the packages and perform the function of the upgrade.
below command will do that for you.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Add system user

Now you need to create a system user to run the odoo server below command will add the user “odoo”, creates
the home path

sudo adduser --system --quiet --shell=/bin/bash --home=/opt/odoo --group odoo

The user should also be added to the sudo’ers group.

Install & Prepare Postgres

Odoo uses Postgres as the database layer, below command will install Postgres (version 9.5.4 is default in
ubuntu 16.04)

apt-get update postgresql -y

After installing Postgres check the version of the Postgres using

psql --version

Now depending on the version you need to install postgresql-server-dev, if your version is 9.5.3 then 9.5 and if
9.4.0 then 9.4, run the below command

sudo apt-get install postgresql-server-dev-9.5

After installing odoo we will create user “odoo” in Postgres, for that you need to log into Postgres rst using

su postgres

and after that create Postgres user for odoo 10, it will prompt for the password of the new user.

createuser --createdb --username postgres --superuser --pwprompt odoo

In order to run the Odoo, you need several packages & python libs installed in ubuntu.
Atul Arvind
sudo apt-get install wget git python-pip python-dev gdebi-core \

libxml2-dev libxslt-dev libldap2-dev libssl-dev libsasl

le from the GitHub odoo 10 branch raw source and install using the pip(python package management
system). below command will do that for you.

cd /tmp && wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/odoo/odoo/10.0/requirements.txt && sudo pip instal

Install wkhtmltopdf
wkhtmltopdf is required in odoo to print the reports. depending on your OS bit you can install wkhtmltopdf for
odoo 10.
How do I check if I have a 32-bit or a 64-bit OS?

uname -i

if you get i386 or i586, i.e OS is 32 bit

if you get x86_64, i.e OS is 64 bit

Now stop the server using

And check the log le again to make sure odoo has stopped properly.

Automize Odoo Service

If everything working well we can do an entry of odoo-server in update-rc.d which will automatically start &
stops the odoo server along with ubuntu

sudo update-rc.d odoo-server defaults

reboot your server and check for the odoo service using ps -ax | grep odoo.
you can also con gure odoo with Nginx or apache to make it work with your domain.

possible.
