You can read how to do it here: http://yoirtuts.com/index.php?title=Odoo_Install_Odoo
On Debian or Ubuntu it is pretty much just:
# echo "deb http://nightly.openerp.com/8.0/nightly/deb/ ./" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
# apt-get update
# apt-get install odoo
# service odoo start
If you wanna know how to setup Odoo with SSL read more here: http://yoirtuts.com/index.php?title=Odoo_Install_Odoo
Perhaps a little comment here for people that have more interest. 1) This 'guide' will not automaticly start Odoo after a server shutdown or reboot 2) Both SSL guides are outdated and refer to Odoo V6 & Odoo V7 on Ubuntu 10.04.. 3) This guide will work but has very little configuration or details. Nevertheless, thank you for sharing.

"Both SSL guides are outdated and refer to Odoo V6 & Odoo V7 on Ubuntu 10.04" It doesn't really matter, because anyone with a brain can adopt those instructions for the latest Ubuntu and take in mind that OpenERP v7 also runs on the same port as Odoo so you won't have to change the configuration much.
