Modifying the sources.list file

Installing Odoo on Ubuntu is easy when you use the Debian repository. You can use any standard text editor, such as Nano, to modify the /etc/apt/sources.list file and add the following line:

deb http://nightly.Odoo.com/8.0/nightly/deb/ ./

This installs the package.

After saving sources.list, you can start the installation process by entering these commands into a terminal window:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openerp

The Odoo packages will be first downloaded and then installed. This is an all-in-one installation and should set up all the necessary packages, PostgreSQL, and library dependencies required to run Odoo.
