#download and uncompress Odoo, change YYYYMMdd to match the name of your extracted Odoo folder
mkdir /opt/odoo cd /opt/odoo wget https://nightly.odoo.com/master/nightly/src/odoo_9.0alpha1.latest.tar.gz tar xvf odoo_9.0alpha1.latest.tar.gz mv odoo-9.0alpha1-YYYYMMdd server
#install python-virtualenv if you don’t have it, I use Ubuntu

#create a virtualenv
mkdir -p /opt/virtualenv/odoo-9.0 virtualenv /opt/virtualenv/odoo-9.0
#activate the virtualenv

#install Odoo v9 requirements
pip install -r /opt/odoo/server/requirements.txt
#aditionaly

That’s all I think. To run Odoo v9 using the virtualenv you have 2 options
1- Activate the virtualenv like before and run:
python /opt/odoo/server/odoo.py --config /path/to/config
2- Directly use the python in the virtualenv
/opt/virtualenv/odoo-9.0/bin/python /opt/odoo/server/odoo.py --config /path/to/config
The config file for Odoo is where you put Odoo options such as database conections options or add others addons modules to the addons path or specify other xmlrpc_port to run Odoo. Could be something like this:
[options] admin_passwd = admin db_host = localhost db_port = 5432 db_user = odoo db_password = odoo xmlrpc_port = 8069 addons_path = /optodoo/server/openerp/addons,/opt/odoo/extra/addons email_from = [email protected]
In the addons_path option you could put a comma separated paths to addons folders
Hope this helps
