Install
=======

Please note, that **only Linux-based installs** are described and actively
supported. We recommend use of Debian / Ubuntu.


Preparing the System
--------------------

Necessary packages can be installed on Debian systems like this::

  $ sudo apt-get install postgresql

Occasionally, PostgreSQL 9.1 database server cannot be started.
In order to resolve the error, you need to edit the postgresql.conf file
(located in my /etc/postgresql/9.1/main directory).
By default, the ssl is set to true and that is the reason which causes
the “meaningful” error. You need to set it to false.

Restart postgresql and continue with package installation::

  $ sudo apt-get install postgresql-server-dev-9.1 \
                         python2.7 python2.7-dev build-essential \
                         libldap2-dev libsasl2-dev libjpeg-dev \
                         libxslt1-dev libxml2-dev
                         python-virtualenv \
                         git \
                         python-simplejson \
                         python-dateutil \
                         python-psycopg2 \
                         python-werkzeug \

Configuring Odoo User on Postgres
---------------------------------

Create a new database user. This is so Odoo has access rights to connect
to PostgreSQL and to create and drop databases. Remember what your choice
of password is here; you will need it later on::

  $ sudo su - postgres
  $ createuser --createdb --username postgres --no-createrole --pwprompt odoo
  $ exit


Preparing Odoo System User and Home Folder
------------------------------------------

  $ sudo adduser --system --group --shell /bin/bash --home /odoo odoo

Login as Odoo user::

  $ sudo bash
  $ su odoo
  $ cd ~


Predefining the ``eggs`` folder
-------------------------------

Create ``~/.buildout/default.cfg`` with the
following contents::

  [buildout]
  eggs-directory = /odoo/eggs


Bootstrapping the Buildout
--------------------------

Install local sandbox::

  $ virtualenv --no-site-packages py27

Activate local sandbox::

  $ source py27/bin/activate

Checkout ``waeup.odoo``::

  (py27)$ svn co https://svn.waeup.org/repos/main/waeup.odoo/trunk myodoo

Finally, perform the bootstrap with the virtualenv's Python::

  (py27)$ cd myodoo
  (py27)$ python bootstrap.py


Running the Build
-----------------

Just run::

  $ bin/buildout

Starting Odoo
-------------

Run

  $ parts/odoo/openerp-server

to start in foreground or

  nohup parts/odoo/openerp-server &

to start in background. The scripts in bin/ are broken.
