Hi Joseph,

For automatic installation on Debian Wheezy, please take a look here : http://solutions-entreprise.developpez.com/erp-pgi/faq/openerp/?page=Linux#InstallDebAuto

Hi Thierry,

I already stated that i successfully downloaded openerp 7 but the issue is that i want to customize\edit some modules on the system. After some research i was trying to do the steps on the following link: https://doc.openerp.com/6.1/vi/developer/01_getting_started/

I already typed the error above.

what is the best way to customize and develop OpenERP?
Is there any documentation to download all the required components to customiza OpenERP?

I've installed Odoo (V8) on a VPS running debian wheezy.

The route that I took was as was set out on this page:

http://www.theopensourcerer.com/2014/09/how-to-install-openerp-odoo-8-on-ubuntu-server-14-04-lts/

some things that caused me some grief:

I use a the Webmin / Virtualmin admin interface on my VPS, and I needed to ensure that scripts are run by the web server (in my case that is Apache).

Secondly ensure that the Postgres DB is correctly set up before hand. I got caught out as I already have MySQL for other stuff and simpy overlooked that Odoo insists on Postgres.

In the config you can dictate where the Odoo files will be. I recomend you place them somewhere where they can be 'on there own' ~ should make life easier for upgrades. I chose /opt/odoo

finaly there are a number of python dependencies, they are listed on the link I have posted above, but I seem to recall that some where still missing (or maybe they have been updated / renamed since the above howto !

Bear in mind also that you are getting the branch from git, not a true deb. so the dependency mechanism isn't going to work as it should. So keep an eye out for the install failures.

Any problems, drop a comment in

David
