Comments on How to install Odoo ERP Software on Ubuntu 15.04

There are many mistakes in this tutorial:

1. you need to write "sudo su" to become root and execute many of your commands (notice that you didn't write sudo in many of them)

2. Installation from repository creates the user, so your step 2 is not necessary. And if you install from git, the step 2 is wrong: the directory in "-home=/opt/odoo" have to be the same that the one in "mkdir -p /var/lib/odoo"

3. Installation from repository resolves dependencies, so your step 4 is not necessary.

Even your step 3 is not necessary when installing from repositories. Don't need step 2, 3 and 4. All you have to do is:

   sudo su   wget -O - https://nightly.odoo.com/odoo.key | apt-key add -   echo "deb http://nightly.odoo.com/8.0/nightly/deb/ ./" >> /etc/apt/sources.list   apt-get update   apt-get install odoo

Yes Alex, you are right, why so many command when 3 of them can conclude the Job.. better to understand things before post because saying  "mkdir -p /var/lib/odoo" while said before " the directory in "-home=/opt/odoo" " it confuses.

while being "root". 4 commands will do business.

# wget -O - https://nightly.odoo.com/odoo.key | apt-key add -

# echo "deb http://nightly.odoo.com/8.0/nightly/deb/ ./" >> /etc/apt/sources.list

# apt-get update

# apt-get install odoo

Done !

 it and then browse : http://localhost:8069   , you get

Well CokoTracy, I just tried your 4 steps procedure, and guess what it didn't work...

I don't care if a procedure contains unnecessary, superfluous and even slightly wrong steps as long as the end result is something that works in any case.

Guys I have ubuntu 15.10 is the installation any different?

I followed all your steps and ended up with this error: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) dpkg: error processing package odoo (--configure)

So when i do the sudo apt-get install odoo it doesnt seem to be working on me there it is
