database server on the same host as Odoo is running.
Now you can install the PostgreSQL database server as follows.
sudo apt-get install -y postgresql
Step 4: Create Odoo user for PostgreSQL
sudo su - postgres -c "createuser -s $OE_USER" 2> /dev/null ||
true
Step 5: Install Python Dependencies for Odoo

4. Step 6: Install Python PIP Dependencies
Step 7: Install other required Odoo packages
Step 8: Install Wkhtmltopdf
To print PDF reports, at that time you have to install the correct version of wkhtmltopdf.
sudo wget
https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/releases/download/0.12
.5/wkhtmltox_0.12.5-1.bionic_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i wkhtmltox_0.12.5-1.bionic_amd64.deb

sudo apt-get install -y npm
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node
sudo npm install -g less less-plugin-clean-css
sudo apt-get install -y node-less

5. Step 9: Create Log directory
sudo mkdir /var/log/$OE_USER
sudo chown $OE_USER:$OE_USER /var/log/$OE_USER
Step 10: Install Clone Odoo from Github
sudo apt-get install git
sudo git clone --depth 1 --branch 13.0
https://www.github.com/odoo/odoo/odoo/odoo-server
Step 11: Setting permissions on home folder
sudo chown -R $OE_USER:$OE_USER $OE_HOME/*
Step 12: Create a server config file
sudo touch /etc/${OE_CONFIG}.conf
sudo su root -c "printf '[options] n; This is the password
that allows database operations:n' >> /etc/${OE_CONFIG}.conf"
sudo su root -c "printf 'admin_passwd = ${OE_SUPERADMIN}n' >>
/etc/${OE_CONFIG}.conf"

6. sudo su root -c "printf 'xmlrpc_port = 8069n' >>
/etc/${OE_CONFIG}.conf"
sudo su root -c "printf 'logfile =
/var/log/${OE_USER}/${OE_CONFIG}.logn' >>
/etc/${OE_CONFIG}.conf"
sudo su root -c "printf
'addons_path=${OE_HOME}/enterprise/addons,${OE_HOME_EXT}/a
ddonsn' >>/etc/${OE_CONFIG}.conf"
Step 13: Change permission and also the user ownership of
configuration file as bellow
sudo chown $OE_USER:$OE_USER /etc/${OE_CONFIG}.conf sudo
chmod 640 /etc/${OE_CONFIG}.conf
Step: 14 Create a boot script for Odoo.
sudo nano /etc/init.d/$OE_CONFIG
At that time, you can set the ownership.
sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/$OE_CONFIG sudo chown
root: /etc/init.d/$OE_CONFIG

7. Step 15: Now Start the Odoo Server
Start the Odoo Server.
sudo /etc/init.d/$OE_CONFIG start
Now you can check logs using:
tail -f /var/log/$OE_USER/$OE_CONFIG.log
Now you can start Odoo server manually for debugging.
sudo su - $OE_USER -s /bin/bash
./$OE_USER-bin -c /etc/$OE_CONFIG.conf
Now you can check your odoo instance is up and running.
