Installation from sources
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
.._getting_started_installation_source-link:
Source code is hosted on Launchpad_. In order to get the sources, you will need Bazaar_ to pull the source from Launchpad. Bazaar is a version control system that helps you track project history over time and collaborate efficiently. You may have to create an account on Launchpad to be able to collaborate on OpenERP development. Please refer to the Launchpad and Bazaar documentation to install and setup your development environment.
The running example of this section is based on an Ubuntu environment. You may have to adapt the steps according to your system. Once your working environment is ready, prepare a working directory that will contain the sources. For a ``source`` base directory, type::
mkdir source;cd source
OpenERP provides a setup script that automatizes the tasks of creating a shared repository and getting the source code. Get the setup script of OpenERP by typing::
bzr cat -d lp:~openerp-dev/openerp-tools/trunk setup.sh | sh
This will create the following two files in your ``source`` directory::
-rw-rw-r-- 1 openerp openerp 5465 2012-04-17 11:05 Makefile
-rw-rw-r-- 1 openerp openerp 2902 2012-04-17 11:05 Makefile_helper.py
If you want some help about the available options, please type::
make help
Next step is to initialize the shared repository and download the sources. Get the current trunk version of OpenERP by typing::
make init-trunk
This will create the following structure inside your ``source`` directory, and fetch the latest source code from ``trunk``::
drwxrwxr-x 3 openerp openerp 4096 2012-04-17 11:10 addons
drwxrwxr-x 3 openerp openerp 4096 2012-04-17 11:10 client
drwxrwxr-x 3 openerp openerp 4096 2012-04-17 11:10 client-web
drwxrwxr-x 2 openerp openerp 4096 2012-04-17 11:10 dump
drwxrwxr-x 3 openerp openerp 4096 2012-04-17 11:10 misc
drwxrwxr-x 3 openerp openerp 4096 2012-04-17 11:10 server
drwxrwxr-x 3 openerp openerp 4096 2012-04-17 11:10 web
Some dependencies are necessary to use OpenERP. Depending on your environment, you might have to install the following packages::
sudo apt-get install graphviz ghostscript postgresql
python-imaging python-matplotlib
Next step is to initialize the database. This will create a new openerp role::
make db-setup
Finally, launch the OpenERP server::
make server
Testing your installation can be done on http://localhost:8069/ . You should see the OpenERP main login page.

Configuration
=============
.. _getrting_started_configuration-link:
Two configuration files are available:
* one for the client: ~/.openerprc
* one for the server: ~/.openerp_serverrc
Those files follow the convention used by python's ConfigParser module.
Lines beginning with "#" or ";" are comments.
The client configuration file is automatically generated upon the first start. The one of the server can automatically be created using the command: ::
openerp-server.py -s
If they are not found, the server and the client will start with the default configuration.
**Server Configuration File**
The server configuration file .openerp_serverrc is used to save server startup options. Here is the list of the available options:
:interface:
Address to which the server will be bound
:port:
Port the server will listen on
:database:
Name of the database to use
:user:
Username used when connecting to the database
:translate_in:
File used to translate OpenERP to your language
:translate_out:
File used to export the language OpenERP use
:language:
Use this language as the language of the server. This must be specified as an ISO country code, as specified by the W3C.
:verbose:
Enable debug output
:init:
init a module (use "all" for all modules)
:update:
update a module (use "all" for all modules)
:upgrade:
Upgrade/install/uninstall modules
:db_name:
specify the database name
:db_user:
specify the database user name
:db_password:
specify the database password
:pg_path:
specify the pg executable path
:db_host:
specify the database host
:db_port:
specify the database port
:translate_modules:
Specify modules to export. Use in combination with --i18n-export
You can create your own configuration file by specifying -s or --save on the server command line. If you would like to write an alternative configuration file, use -c <config file> or --config=<config file>
Here is a basic configuration for a server::
[options]
verbose = False
xmlrpc = True
database = terp
update = {}
port = 8069
init = {}
interface = 127.0.0.1
reportgz = False
