Hi everyone

I have downloaded several Third-Party Apps but can't seem to find any documentation on how to install these.  Any assistance is appreciated.


Thank you

Thank you for your replies 😊

I will give your recommendations a try a little later when I’m using the platform.


Thanks again

Hi,

For installing third party app's in your odoo instance, you have to create a directory where we can add all the third party apps and then you have to specify this path in odoo configuration file. Once you done initially, from next time, you just need to add modules under this directory and ready to use it.


* Create a directory and specify the path in odoo configuration file in addons_path
* Ensure odoo running user has to this directory
* After updating the addons path in conf file, you can add modules to new directory
* restart the odoo servce after adding new modules
* from user interface, update app list and you can install the modules


See this video explaining the same:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O57RyWTg2u0

Hi Karen


Third-party applications can only be installed on odoo. sh and on-premise hosting types, and cannot be installed on odoo online.


Assuming that your hosting type is odoo-premise, the installation steps are as follows:


1. Create a custom plugin directory custom_addons in the server, if created, ignore this step


2. Modify the configuration file odoo. conf, and add the full path of new directory custom_addons to addons_ path content, and restart the odoo service. If it has been configured, ignore this step


3. Upload the third-party application to the custom_addons, grant the file with ODOO user permissions


4. Log in to Odoo and activate developer mode


5. Enter the app module and click  'update apps list'


6. Locate the newly uploaded third-party application in the localization directory, click Install, and wait for the system to complete the installation


If successful, you can see the installed third-party applications on the home page


If there are any problems, you can communicate at any time

Best Regard
