How to install apps / modules (erd party) manually for Odoo 10.0 on Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS ?
PS : I used to put Odoo 10.0 on /opt/odoo/odoo-10.0 and the configuration file at /etc/odoo.conf
Odoo is the world's easiest all-in-one management software.
It includes hundreds of business apps:
- CRM
- e-Commerce
- Accounting
- Inventory
- PoS
- Project management
- MRP

I recently did the following steps to install modules in odoo 10.0 :
- copy the directory of the module in /opt/odoo/odoo10/addons
- chown -R odoo: /opt/odoo/odoo10/addons/<module_directory>
- chmod -R 755 /opt/odoo/odoo10/addons/<module_directory>
- restart odoo
- Activate the developer mode
- Go to Settings, then do
- Go to "Apps"
- Empty the search bar. You should see the new module in Apps list
Do not use /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/odoo/addons as this is only for packages installations. And I believe /var/lib/odoo/.local/share/Odoo/addons is mainly for updates and installation of modules from the App Store application (which you can see in developper mode).
A proper install would separate packages installations (i.e. deb files), updates & App Store installations and locally downloaded modules. Traditionaly in Unix/Linux those are installed in the /usr/local tree -- for example /usr/local/share/odoo/addons). But if you setup Odoo in /opt/odoo/odoo10 you can use /opt/odoo/odoo10/addons as well. Just add the path you choose in /etc/odoo.conf under addons_path -- module paths are comma separated.
My mistake :
do not put addons inside odoo tree, or you will lost everuthing at the update. For example one can choose /opt/odoo/addons
...the modules should be placed on
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/odoo/addons
or
/var/lib/odoo/.local/share/Odoo/addons ( confirm the this one)
do a refresh and they should appear on the apps section...
I mean modules from 3rd party
