I am attempting to install Odoo 14 on my Fedora 33 system by using the official instructions at https://www.odoo.com/documentation/14.0/setup/install.html
The second step "sudo dnf install odoo" never completes: it stays in a busy state at the point where the installer has printed the message "running scriptlet".
As a software developer and consultant, I wish to evaluate Odoo to see if it suits my client base. The community edition will give me all the insight I need into the quality of the software and the support available.
Repository
Odoo SA provides a repository that can be used with the Fedora distributions. It can be used to install Odoo Community Edition by executing the following commands:
$ sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo = https://nightly.odoo.com/14.0/nightly/rpm/odoo.repo
$ sudo dnf install -y odoo
$ sudo systemctl enable odoo
$ sudo systemctl start odoo
As following the official installation instructions failed, i tried following the instructions to install from source. After resolving a number of undocumented dependencies, the system seems to have completed installation. The next official instruction is to run odoo-bin, but this file does not exist on my system. As Odoo is clearly in a primitive state of release, I shall not be recommending it to my clients. For my own amusement I may try to debug it in my spare time. It is very disappointing that the marketing of Odoo is far more advanced than the installation instructions.
