How to install Odoo 10 on Centos 7

Update: This post originally was for Odoo 9 installation. Now updated for Odoo 10.

In this post I will go through the full fresh installation of Odoo erp community version on Centos7. I have fairly fresh Centos installation which will be used just as Odoo server. I will also use PostgreSQL as database.

All the details and screenshots are correct for below:

OS: Centos 7 ( Linux 3.10.0-327.4.5.el7.x86_64)
Odoo version: odoo-10.0_20161014-1.noarch
Database: PostgreSQL-9.5

 

Make sure that all services installed on your server are up to date and install dependencies:

sudo yum install -y epel-release
sudo yum -y update
sudo yum install yum-utils
sudo yum install fontconfig libpng libX11 libXext libXrender xorg-x11-fonts-Type1 xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi wkhtmltopdf

 

Remove other db servers and install Postgresql and start it:

sudo yum remove mariadb mariadb-server
sudo yum install -y postgresql-server
sudo postgresql-setup initdb
sudo systemctl enable postgresql
sudo systemctl start postgresql

 

Add Odoo repository:

sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo=https://nightly.odoo.com/10.0/nightly/rpm/odoo.repo

and finally install and start Odoo 10

sudo yum install -y odoo
sudo systemctl enable odoo
sudo systemctl start odoo

Open Odoo’s configuration file and uncomment the ‘admin_passwd’ line to set the admin master password

sudo vim /etc/odoo/odoo.conf

admin_passwd = YourPassword

Don’t forget to replace ‘YourPassword’ with an actual strong password.

Restart Odoo for the changes to take effect

sudo systemctl restart odoo

 

Firewall Settings

By default in Centos 7 minimal installation firewalld is installed and enabled. You need to open the port 8069 to be able to access it from the browser. I use this server just for Odoo tests so to make it easier to access I just forward port 80 to 8069 through fiirewalld port forwarding function:

sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-masquerade
sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-forward-port=port=80:proto=tcp:toport=8069
sudo systemctl reload firewalld
sudo firewall-cmd --list-all

public (default, active)
  interfaces: eno16777984
  sources: 
  services: dhcpv6-client ssh
  ports: 
  masquerade: yes
  forward-ports: port=80:proto=tcp:toport=8069:toaddr=
  icmp-blocks: 
  rich rules:

Now, open a web browser and access Odoo 10 at http://server-hostname-or-IP-address to create a new PostgreSQL database and set password for the admin user.
