Where is the odoo documentation?

Documentation has always been lacking in the odoo project.  Mostly this is a problem of the speed of evolution that TinyERP has evolved into OpenERP and now Odoo.  Currently odoo is struggling with how to align development resources: improving the user experience and making it more intuitive or developing documentation that may need to be completely rewritten in a year with the changes of the next version.

Odoo plans to write four documents for version 8 within a month or so.  The first two will be given priority and the others will come as time permits.  Ongoing progress can be viewed in odoo’s dev branch.

• Developer tutorial
• Designer tutorial
• Developer reference guide
• API guide

So the odoo community and various developers have come to the rescue to some success and various levels of quality.

So what resources are available on the net?

Version 8

• Official odoo v8 docs (included with github source code)
• Official future odoo v8 docs (Developer tutorial/reference/api & Designer tutorial)
• Odoo v8 database scheme (Thanks go to Borut Jures for his work)
• Odoo’s new v8 API guidelines (From OpenDays 2014)
• OpenERP v8 book (Community written)
• Official odoo how-to docs (Community written, odoo approved)

Version 7

• Official OpenERP v7 docs
• Official OpenERP Web Developers Documentation v7
• Official OpenERP Technical Memento v0.7.4 (French Version)
• OpenERP v7 docs (Written by odoo silver partner – erpweb)

Installing OpenERP 7.0 on Ubuntu using source code & wget from nightly.odoo.com

The open Sourcercer has an excellent and very detailed installation guide.  It describes what each step does and why it is necessary.   Great Job Alan!

Link: How to install OpenERP 7.0 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Pro: Complete control over where and how OpenERP is installed
Con: Not an automated installation

This method can also be used to install version 8.0 Alpha from the trunk directory, however you will also need to include the following required libraries that were not needed in version 7.0

sudo apt-get install python-pypdf
sudo apt-get install python-psutil
