Technical requirements


This chapter requires you to have an Odoo server installed and be able to start it from the command line, to perform actions such as installing modules or running tests. If you don't know how to do this yet, Chapter 2Preparing the Development Environment, can help you.

In this chapter, we will create our first Odoo application from a blank slate, so we won't need any additional code to get started.

The code for this chapter can be found in the book's GitHub repository, https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Odoo-12-Development-Essentials-Fourth-Edition, in the library_app directory.
