Odoo Install Script

This script is based on the install script from André Schenkels (https://github.com/aschenkels-ictstudio/openerp-install-scripts) but goes a bit further and has been improved. This script will also give you the ability to define an xmlrpc_port in the .conf file that is generated under /etc/ This script can be safely used in a multi-odoo code base server because the default Odoo port is changed BEFORE the Odoo is started.

Installation procedure

0. Enable universe category

You have to enable universe category which contains python-pip package. Open /etc/apt/sources.list using an editor, for example nano:

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

then add universe at the end of each line, like this:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic main universe
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security main universe 
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates main universe

then run:

sudo apt update

1. Download the script:

sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/onesteinbv/InstallScript/12_os_18.04/odoo_install.sh

2. Modify the parameters as you wish.

There are a few things you can configure, this is the most used list:
OE_USER will be the username for the system user.
INSTALL_WKHTMLTOPDF set to False if you do not want to install Wkhtmltopdf, if you want to install it you should set it to True.
OE_PORT is the port where Odoo should run on, for example 8069.
OE_VERSION is the Odoo version to install, for example 12.0 for Odoo V12.
IS_ENTERPRISE will install the Enterprise version on top of 12.0 if you set it to True, set it to False if you want the community version of Odoo 12.
OE_SUPERADMIN is the master password for this Odoo installation.
