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.
