Unable to run odoo properly in Mac OS X

Question

I have installed Odoo 9 Community version from Git in my Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.2, all my steps:

python --version Python 2.7.10  git clone https://github.com/odoo/odoo.git Checking out files: 100% (20501/20501), done. 

Installed PostgresApp into Applications and added path in ~/.bash_profile, executed the same.

export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/latest/bin 

Installed pip

sudo easy_install pip Finished processing dependencies for pip 

I have nodejs installed in my system,

node -v v5.0.0 npm -v 3.3.9 

Installed less and less-plugin-clean-css

sudo npm install -g less less-plugin-clean-css 

I have latest xcode installed,

xcode-select --install xcode-select: error: command line tools are already installed, use "Software Update" to install updates 

I have homebrew installed,

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"  It appears Homebrew is already installed. If your intent is to reinstall you should do the following before running this installer again:     ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall)" The current contents of /usr/local are bin Cellar CODEOFCONDUCT.md CONTRIBUTING.md etc include lib Library LICENSE.txt opt README.md sbin share SUPPORTERS.md var .git .gitignore 

Installed other libs

brew install autoconf automake libtool brew install libxml2 libxslt libevent 

Installed Python dependencies

sudo easy_install -U setuptools Finished processing dependencies for setuptools  cd odoo/ sudo pip install --user -r requirements.txt  Successfully installed Mako-1.0.1 Pillow-2.7.0 Werkzeug-0.9.6 argparse-1.2.1 lxml-3.4.1 psutil-2.2.0 psycopg2-2.5.4 pyparsing-2.0.1 python-dateutil-1.5 python-ldap-2.4.19 pytz-2013.7 pyusb-1.0.0b2 qrcode-5.1 six-1.4.1 

Running odoo

export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 export LANG=en_US.UTF-8  ./odoo.py --addons-path=addons --db-filter=mydb 

It says

2016-02-10 16:51:42,351 3389 INFO ? openerp: OpenERP version 9.0c 2016-02-10 16:51:42,351 3389 INFO ? openerp: addons paths: ['/Users/anshad/Library/Application Support/Odoo/addons/9.0', u'/Users/anshad/odoo/addons', '/Users/anshad/odoo/openerp/addons'] 2016-02-10 16:51:42,352 3389 INFO ? openerp: database: default@default:default 2016-02-10 16:51:42,444 3389 INFO ? openerp.service.server: HTTP service (werkzeug) running on 0.0.0.0:8069 

And the browser says 500 500 Internal Server Error and in terminal,

conn = _connect(dsn, connection_factory=connection_factory, async=async) OperationalError: could not connect to server: No such file or directory     Is the server running locally and accepting     connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"? 

Started PostgresApp to solve this issue.

Now I got the database setup window appears without CSS as in the below screen-shot.

Created database mydbodoo with password admin and navigated to main page http://localhost:8069/web/ It shows a blank page with black header and odoo logo, some error in terminal as well.

ImportError: No module named pyPdf

Answer 1

I just went through the setup on two systems, one is Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.2 and another one is my primary OS - Ubuntu 15.04 (where things went much easier, but maybe it is just because I use Ubuntu on daily basis).

Below are installation steps for both systems. Make sure that every command finishes successfully (at least doesn't report any errors).

Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.2

Prerequisites: I already had git and python 2.7.10.

1) Clone odoo repository:

git clone https://github.com/odoo/odoo.git 

2) Download and install Postgresapp

• Go to http://postgresapp.com/, download
• Open it in Finder, drag to Applications, double click
• Postgres application appears, double click it
• Sorry if these steps are obvious, it is just for me since I am not a Mac OS user

Now add to ~/.bash_profile:

export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/latest/bin 

And just execute the command above it if you already have the open terminal.

3) Install pip

sudo easy_install pip 

4) Install nodejs

• Go to https://nodejs.org,
• Download node v4.3.0
• Move to Applications, run and install
• Open terminal and check that node and npm commands are available

5) Install less and less-plugin-clean-css

sudo npm install -g less less-plugin-clean-css 

Should show output like this:

/usr/local/bin/lessc -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/less/bin/lessc [email protected] /usr/local/lib/node_modules/less-plugin-clean-css └── [email protected] ([email protected], [email protected]) [email protected] /usr/local/lib/node_modules/less ├── [email protected] ├── [email protected] ├── [email protected] ├── [email protected] ([email protected]) ├── [email protected] ([email protected]) ├── [email protected] ([email protected]) ├── [email protected] ([email protected]) └── [email protected] ([email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]) 

6) Install binary dependencies

I think not all the steps below are really necessary, but I performed them, so include just for the case they actually were needed.

• Run in the terminal xcode-select --install, when dialog appears - agree to install
• Go to http://brew.sh and follow instructions to install homebrew

Once you have brew, run the following in the terminal:

brew install autoconf automake libtool brew install libxml2 libxslt libevent 

7) Install python dependencies

sudo easy_install -U setuptools pip install --user -r requirements.txt 

It should show something like this at the end:

Successfully installed Babel-1.3 Jinja2-2.7.3 Mako-1.0.1 MarkupSafe-0.23 Pillow-2.7.0 PyYAML-3.11 Python-Chart-1.39 Werkzeug-0.9.6 argparse-1.2.1 beautifulsoup4-4.4.1 decorator-3.4.0 docutils-0.12 feedparser-5.1.3 gdata-2.0.18 gevent-1.0.2 greenlet-0.4.7 jcconv-0.2.3 lxml-3.4.1 mock-1.0.1 ofxparse-0.14 passlib-1.6.2 psutil-2.2.0 psycogreen-1.0 psycopg2-2.5.4 pyPdf-1.13 pydot-1.0.2 pyparsing-2.0.1 pyserial-2.7 python-dateutil-1.5 python-ldap-2.4.19 python-openid-2.2.5 python-stdnum-1.2 pytz-2013.7 pyusb-1.0.0b2 qrcode-5.1 reportlab-3.1.44 requests-2.6.0 six-1.4.1 suds-jurko-0.6 vatnumber-1.2 vobject-0.6.6 xlwt-0.7.5 

8) Run odoo

cd odoo  # change dir to the folder you cloned odoo to export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 export LANG=en_US.UTF-8  # Re-check parameters, it looks like addons path you used is incorrect ./odoo.py --addons-path=addons --db-filter=mydb 

Now you should see the output like this:

INFO ? openerp: OpenERP version 9.0c INFO ? openerp: addons paths: ['/Users/dev/Library/Application Support/Odoo/addons/9.0', u'/Users/dev/projects/odoo/addons', '/Users/dev/projects/odoo/openerp/addons'] INFO ? openerp: database: default@default:default INFO ? openerp.service.server: HTTP service (werkzeug) running on 0.0.0.0:8069 

9) Open odoo in your browser

• Go to http://localhost:8069
• The database setup window appears (see the first screenshot below)
• Enter databse name = mydbodoo (I think the prefix mydb is important here) and password admin
• You can also check the checkbox to load the demo data
• Click Create database
• Wait and you should be redirected to the odoo interface (see the second screenshot)

Done!

Update: Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.2 with virtualenv

Do the same as above, on step (7) do not run pip install --user -r requirements.txt and instead to this:

pip install virtualenv  # not sure here, sudo may be needed mkdir ~/venv cd ~/venv mkdir odoo virtualenv odoo source ~/venv/odoo/bin/activate cd ~/path/to/odoo pip install -r requirements.txt  # no sudo here! 

Now continue with step (8). Each time, before starting odoo make sure to activate the virtualenv first:

source ~/venv/odoo/bin/activate export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 export LANG=en_US.UTF-8  ./odoo.py --addons-path=addons --db-filter=mydb 

Ubuntu 15.04

Prerequisites: I already had postgresql 9.4.5, nodejs 0.10.25 and python 2.7.8.

Installation:

git clone https://github.com/odoo/odoo.git  cd odoo sudo apt-get install libldap2-dev libsasl2-dev libevent-dev libxslt1-dev libxml2-dev  pip install -r requirements.txt sudo npm install -g less less-plugin-clean-css ./odoo.py --addons-path=addons --db-filter=mydb 

That's all, now setup the same way as in the step (9) for Mac OS.
