Create dev environment with OCA¶

Requirements¶

We assume you already have:

• VScode installed
• Python3 installed
• You have PostGreSQL

Setup process¶

Clone Odoo¶

Create an empty folder. If you plan to work with several odoo versions, you should create a folder with version name (e.g. odoo17).

Due to virtual environment, don't rename or move this folder.

BRANCH=17.0
git clone --depth=1 --branch ${BRANCH} --single-branch https://github.com/odoo/odoo

Create virtualenv and install dependancies

python3 -m venv venv
. ./venv/bin/activate
pip install -r odoo/requirements.txt

To install OCA packages, download the xz file corresponding to your odoo version here
https://projects.iabsis.com/projects/odoo-oca/files

Extract into your project root folder and name it "oca", it should containing all oca addons.

Now copy odoo.conf config file into your root folder

cp odoo/debian/odoo.conf odoo.conf
