Summary

Chapter 1. Getting Started with Odoo Development

Before we dive into Odoo development, we need to set up our development environment and learn the basic administration tasks for it.

In this chapter, we will learn how to set up the work environment, where we will later build our Odoo applications. We will learn how to set up a Debian or Ubuntu system to host the development server instances and how to install Odoo from the GitHub source code. Then, we will learn how to set up file sharing with Samba, which will allow us to work on Odoo files from a workstation running Windows or any other operating system.

Odoo is built using the Python programming language, and it uses the PostgreSQL database for data storage; these are the two main requirements of an Odoo host. To run Odoo from the source, we will first need to install the Python libraries it depends on. The Odoo source code can then be downloaded from GitHub. While we can download a ZIP file or tarball, we will see that it's better if we get the sources using the Git version control application; it'll help us to have it installed on our Odoo host as well.
