Odoo is one of the most popular and most powerful Open Source ERP business software based on the Python programming language. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Odoo 10 on an Ubuntu 16.04 VPS. This new version of Odoo includes numerous improvements including new manufacturing apps and faster website operations.
The installation of Odoo 10 on an Ubuntu 16.04 VPS should take about 20 minutes if you follow the very easy steps described below.
First of all login to your Ubuntu 16.04 VPS via SSH as user root
ssh root@IP_address
At the very beginning, it is best to start a screen session by executing the following command
screen -U -S odoo
Update the OS packages on your virtual server using the following commands:
apt-get update && apt-get -y upgrade
Make sure to always keep your server up to date.
In this tutorial, we are going to use the script from Yenthe Van Ginneken to install Odoo. You can download the script by running the following command:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Yenthe666/InstallScript/10.0/odoo_install.sh
Or, you can create a file and copy the following code to the new file (for example, ‘odoo_install.sh’).
nano odoo_install.sh

After you create the file, make it executable:
chmod +x odoo_install.sh
Run the odoo_install.sh script and wait until Odoo 10 is fully installed:
./odoo_install.sh
Edit the Odoo configuration file and set the master admin password:
nano /etc/odoo-server.conf
admin_passwd = UseStrongPassw0rd
Don’t forget to replace ‘UseStrongPassw0rd’ with an actual strong password. You can generate one from the command line.
Restart Odoo for the changes to take effect:
/etc/init.d/odoo-server restart
Open http://your-server-IP:8069/web/database/manager and create a new database. After the database is created, you will be redirected to the admin panel.
After the database is created, you will be redirected to the admin panel. Log in as admin user, change its password, configure Odoo, install the modules you need etc.
That’s it. You have successfully installed Odoo 10 on your Ubuntu 16.04 VPS.
