How to add new custom-addons directory to the Odoo server?

Question

Hi everybody, I have created the directory *custom-addons* under  home/ralph/odoo-dev
I tried to run the below command in Ubuntu terminal:
$ cd ~/odoo-dev
$ ./odoo/odoo-bin -d todo --addons-path="custom-addons,odoo/addons" --save
However, it returns the error below:
Usage: odoo-bin [options]
odoo-bin: error: option --addons-path: the path 'custom-addons' is not a valid addons directory
I tried many different ways, but to no avail. Can anyone give some guidance? Thanks
My Odoo version: 13; Ubuntu

Hi Yuen,
Usually you add them in the config file itself instead of passing it along but both will work.
For example if you have an Odoo installed under /odoo13 and you have a custom path under /odoo13/custom/addons/some-repository you would do this in the config file:
addons_path=/odoo13/custom/addons/some-repository,/odoo13/custom/addons/another-repository The same path should work in the terminal too. So:
./odoo-bin --addons-path=/odoo13/custom/addons/some-repository Regards,
Yenthe

I'm facing the same problem but I need another solution Yenthe
Your way will work because both folders under odoo13 folder
But I need to make addons folders out odoo13 folder, I need it to be shared between more than one user to make one addons directory for more than one instance in the same time
I created a folder by the root user so he is the owner and I make group (sudo= which includes users of installed instances) is the owner group
Also I gave the folder and its sub-folders 775 permission

I faced the same problem. In my case, it was because the folder was empty. I didn't created the first module with the minimum file (the "__manifest__.py") in the module folder.
