Install modules without demo data

Question

I want to create a database with only the technical features. I set "without demo = all" in my config file. But it seems doesn't work. The demo data still appears when I try to install my first module like 'warehouse management' on a new database.

I know in __openerp__.py of every module, there is a "demo" field. but some module has a lot dependencies, I can not comment all "demo" fields.

Is there a better way to disable demo data?

I think you should recreate your database from scratch (if you use database manager, just don't check the demo data checkbox).
If you use the service from command line (or just have access to the configuration file), so the right syntax is:
without_demo=all
or with the command line:
--without-demo=all

In the command line, type
./odoo.py --help You will see that the syntax should be
--without-demo=WITHOUT_DEMO In config file, it should be
without_demo=WITHOUT_DEMO

--without-demo=all does not work at all. It good to test it with hr module.
It is extreme solution, but works for hr module on Ubuntu 14.04
cd ${HOME}/odoo
cp addons/hr/__openerp__.py addons/hr/__openerp__.py.orig
perl -pi -e 's/^(.*)(demo)(.*)/# ${1}${2}${3}/' addons/hr/__openerp__.py
cat addons/hr/__openerp__.py

You have to put
without_demo = True
inside the configuration file
