I am trying to install the Community version to VMware with Ubunty 16.04.

I am not very familiar with Ubunty/Linux but I switched to root user (# sudo -s) and then followed the installation guide

# wget -O - https://nightly.odoo.com/odoo.key | apt-key add -
# echo "deb http://nightly.odoo.com/10.0/nightly/deb/ ./" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/odoo.list
# apt-get update && apt-get install odoo

It seems to install everything fine but at the end I am getting this:

Setting up odoo (10.0.20170403) ...

chown: cannot access '/var/lib/odoo': No such file or directory dpkg: error processing package odoo (--configure):
