I managed to solve the problem. It was necessary to copy the phonenumbers library that was in the Windows "global" python directory to the site-package folder in the Odoo directory.

Hi,

You have these issues installing libraries in Python 3.13. Try to use Python 3.12, and the problem will be resolved. Try using older versions of Python.

Hope it helps

In case someone else is struggling with this issue, when running bitnami.com OVA version of Odoo 18 (which seems to use Python egg based setup and not site-packages), here's the trick that got rid of the error for me and allowed installation of Sales:

sudo cp -r /opt/bitnami/python/lib/python3.12/site-packages/phonenumbers /opt/bitnami/odoo/lib/odoo-18.0.post20250205-py3.12.egg/

(no idea if this is the correct or persistent method to fix it though!)

Dear Lucineia,

i habe the same error message. Would love to try your solution. As im new to Odoo: Could you tell me which files are located where exactly and need to be copied?  Thank you very much for your help

Kind Regards

Hendrik
