But there are also additional locations on the internet where you can download modules for openERP. These have to be installed at the /addons directory (ubuntu: /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/openerp/addons). Copy the files are su user or with sudo cp ...... Than restart the server to get the new/modified modules, go to settings -> Installed modules, remove installed, and search for your module.

Hi Patrick, I followed these instructions with some changes because I an running on Windows XP but the module doesn't appear in the module list. Any ideas why? The module was placed in the programfiles\openERP\server\server\openerp\ folder and then I restarted my machine. The module is the ea_import module from http://www.enapps.co.uk

First, there should be a folder called addons, place it there. Second, if the module does not have a file with the name __openerp__.py, it cannot be found. Thirdly, not all modules are working under openERP V7.

Hi I have the same problem, but it says I don't have the permission to access/past in the folder. how can get access or right permission to do this?

@Nasir if you are using linux you must use sudo or be the root

i am using Ubuntu but don't know how to use the root, because at first startup of computer the sudo or root user does not come to get log in can u tell me how to do it via terminal ?

You can run sudo passwd to change the password of root (in ubuntu), then login as root when you logout your server. Or you can type sudo before any terminal command to run that command with root permissions
