I've looked for answers to no end. Best I have found is you can run the community version and import the modules manually but not sure if that is correct.
I'm not sure how Odoo expects to adopt customers if you can't run and test their applications (more than just "cloud" demo's). I need to dig into every aspect of this software and intend to run on premise.
Seems like Odoo has switched to a cloud profitability model?
