Step 1: Instaling all the dependencies with Postgresql database
sudo apt-get install python-lxml python-mako python-egenix-mxdatetime python-dateutil python-psycopg2 python-pychart python-pydot python-tz python-reportlab python-yaml python-vobject python-gtk2 python-glade2 python-matplotlib python-egenix-mxdatetime python-tz python-hippocanvas python python-dev build-essential python-setuptools flashplugin-nonfree postgresqlStep 2: Downloading Openerp server Webserver and client
Link to download :
http://www.openerp.com/downloads
please download sources and pack for linux save them in workspace( you have to create a folder( usin :- mkdir) in Documents, just to keep all code at one place else you can save them any where but i prefer workspace ) directory and unzip all of them
Step 3: Starting server, client and create DB User
Create database user
a good practice is to create a database user similer to your system user the command is as given below
sudo su postgres
createuser "your system user name"( eg: smaan )
Starting application server
Go to path Document/workspace/openerp-sever-6.0.x/bin ( usin cd Documents/workspace/openerp-sever-6.0.x/bin) where x is the verson number use the same number as you downloaded or usin tab key can also help to identify the same
To start server execute the following
./openerp- and use tab key to complete the executable file , if everthing is fine server will start normally and wait for connection from client.
Starting web server
go to path Documents/workspace/openerp-web-6.0x ( usin cd Documnets/openerp-web-6.0.x )
To start the webserver
./openerp-web use tab key to complete the name and followed by enter , it should start normally on 8080 port
Step 4: working with OpenERP
Open web browser ( mozilla,explorer etc )
type : http://localhost:8080/
or http://serverip:8080/
you are now ready to start using OpenERP v6 create a new database and play with it
