cd /opt/odoo python3 -m venv odoo-venv source odoo-venv/bin/activate Install Python requirements: install download odoo enterprise source code
sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl start odoo sudo systemctl enable odoo Check status:
sudo mkdir /var/lib/odoo /var/log/odoo sudo chown odoo:odoo /var/lib/odoo /var/log/odoo To ensure Odoo starts on boot and restarts if it crashes, create a systemd service. git clone git@github
git ls-remote https://github.com/odoo/enterprise.git If prompted for a username/password, use your GitHub credentials. If you see a list of commits → success. SSH into your Ubuntu server and update everything.
wget https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/packaging/releases/download/0.12.6.1-2/wkhtmltox_0.12.6.1-2.jammy_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i wkhtmltox_0.12.6.1-2.jammy_amd64.deb sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf Create a configuration file so Odoo knows where to find Enterprise modules.
