Steps to install Odoo on Debian 10 Buster ?

1. Perform system update

Before we install any software, it’s important to make sure your system is up to date by running these following apt-get commands in the terminal:

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt upgrade

2. Install PostgreSQL

Run the following command to install PostgreSQL:

$ sudo apt install postgresql

After the installation is complete, make sure to enable the PostgreSQL server to start automatically upon server reboot with:

$ sudo systemctl enable postgresql
$ sudo systemctl start postgresql

3. Install Odoo on the system

First, We need to add Odoo apt repository to the Debian system:

$ wget -O - https://nightly.odoo.com/odoo.key | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb http://nightly.odoo.com/13.0/nightly/deb/ ./" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/odoo.list

Once the repository is added, install Odoo using the apt package manager:

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install odoo

After the installation of Odoo on Debian 10, the service is started automatically:

$ sudo systemctl status odoo

4. Configure Odoo.

Now we edit Odoo's configuration file and set the master admin password:

$ nano /etc/odoo/odoo.conf

Uncomment the 'admin_passwd' line, and set a password as shown below:

admin_passwd = YOUR_MASTER_PASSWORD

After that, restart the Odoo instance for the changes to take effect:

$ sudo systemctl restart odoo

5. Access Odoo Web Interface

Odoo will be available on HTTP port 8069 by default. Open your favorite browser and navigate to http://your-domain.com:8069 or http://server-ip-address:8069.
