Chapter 1. Setting Up Odoo

Odoo is a powerful set of open source business applications built on the OpenObject framework. When you first install Odoo, the only functionality you will have is limited messaging options between users. From there, Odoo allows you to install the modules you need as you need them. This flexibility makes Odoo much more accessible than many business software solutions.

In this chapter, we will get started working with Odoo by covering the installation and the basics of setting up an Odoo database.

The topics we will cover include:

  • Using the free two-user edition of Odoo
  • Setting up a trial company
  • Installing Odoo on Windows and Ubuntu
  • Troubleshooting and configuring your installation
