Create a dedicated database user for Odoo to ensure security and proper access control. sudo -u postgres createuser -s $USER Use code with caution.

You need an active Odoo Enterprise subscription code and a linked Odoo.com account to access the private repositories.

Odoo can run on various operating systems, but a Linux-based environment (such as or Debian ) is highly recommended for production. This guide assumes you are using Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04 LTS. 2. Database Server

This phase sets up the environment Odoo needs to run.

git clone https://github.com --depth 1 --branch 17.0 /opt/odoo/odoo-server Use code with caution.

Installing Odoo Enterprise from source code allows developers and administrators maximum control over their environment, enabling custom module development and precise server tuning. Because Odoo Enterprise is a proprietary product, accessing its source code requires a valid subscription and follows different procedures than the free Community edition. 1. Prerequisites for Odoo Enterprise

Odoo Enterprise is built as an extension layer on top of Odoo Community. To run it, you must download both the Community base source code and the Enterprise addons package. Option A: Download via Git (Recommended for Developers)

This guide will walk you through every step of the process, from preparation and downloading the code to running a fully functional Odoo Enterprise instance.

git clone https://github.com --depth 1 --branch 17.0 --single-branch target_directory/enterprise Use code with caution. Option B: Download as a ZIP Archive

sudo mv /opt/odoo/odoo-server.conf /etc/odoo.conf sudo chown odoo:odoo /etc/odoo.conf sudo chmod 640 /etc/odoo.conf # Reload systemd and start Odoo sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl enable --now odoo Use code with caution.

This technical guide walks you through downloading the source code, setting up dependencies, configuring PostgreSQL, and launching your Odoo Enterprise instance. Prerequisites and System Requirements
