+OpenERP Quick Installation Guide
+---------------------------------
+
+This file contains a quick guide to configure and install the OpenERP server.
+
+Required dependencies:
+---------------------
+
+You need the following software installed:
+
+ * Python 2.5 or 2.6
+ * Postgresql 8.2 or above
+ * Psycopg2 python module
+ * Reportlab pdf generation library for python
+ * lxml python module
+ * pytz python module
+ * PyYaml python module (install with: easy_install PyYaml)
+
+Some dependencies are only required for specific purposes:
+
+for rendering workflows graphs, you need:
+ * graphviz
+ * pyparsing
+
+For Luxembourg localization, you also need:
+ * pdftk (http://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit/)
+
+for generating reports using non .jpg images, you need:
+ * Python Imaging Library for python
+
+For Debian-based distributions, the required packages can be installed with the
+following command:
+
+ #> apt-get install -y postgresql graphviz python-psycopg2 python-lxml python-tz python-imaging
+
+For Fedora
+if they are not installed, install:
+python and postgresql
+
+uses yum or you can recover required packages on fedora web site in "core" or "extra" repository :
+postgresql-python
+python-lxml
+python-imaging
+python-psycopg2
+python-reportlab
+graphviz
+You can find pyparsing at http://pyparsing.sourceforge.net/
+
+1. Check that all the required dependencies are installed.
+
+2. Launch the program "python ./bin/openerp-server.py -r db_user -w db_password --db_host 127.0.0.1".
+See the man page for more information about options.
+
+3. Connect to the server using the GUI client. And follow the instructions to create a new database.
+
+Installation Steps
+------------------
+
+1. Check that all the required dependencies are installed.
+
+2. Create a postgresql database.
+
+The default database name is "terp". If you want to use another name, you
+will need to provide it when launching the server (by using the commandline
+option --database).
+
+To create a postgresql database named "terp" using the following command:
+ $ createdb --encoding=UNICODE terp
+
+If it is the first time you use postgresql you might need to create a new user
+to the postgres system using the following commands (where myusername is your
+unix user name):
+
+ $ su -
+ # su - postgres
+ $ createuser openerp
+ Shall the new user be allowed to create databases? (y/n) y
+ Shall the new user be allowed to create more new users? (y/n) y
+ CREATE USER
+ $ logout
+ # logout
+
+3. Launch service daemon by "service openerp-server start".
+
+The first time it is run, the server will initialise the database with all the default values.
+
+4. Connect to the server using the GUI client.
+
+There are two accounts by default:
+ * login: admin, password:admin
+ * login: demo, password:demo
+
+Some instructions to use setup.py for a user-install.
+This file should/will be moved on a proper documentation place later.
+
+
+- Possibly clean any left-over of the previous build.
+ > rm -rf dist openerp_server.egg-info
+
+- Possibly copy the addons in the server if we want them to be packaged
+ together:
+ > rsync -av --delete \
+ --exclude .bzr/ \
+ --exclude .bzrignore \
+ --exclude /__init__.py \
+ --exclude /base \
+ --exclude /base_quality_interrogation.py \
+ <path-to-addons> openerp/addons
+
+- Create the user-local directory where we want the package to be installed:
+ > mkdir -p /home/openerp/openerp-tmp/lib/python2.6/site-packages/
+
+- Use --prefix to specify where the package is installed and include that
+ place in PYTHONPATH:
+ > PYTHONPATH=/home/openerp/openerp-tmp/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ \
+ python setup.py install --prefix=/home/openerp/openerp-tmp
+
+- Run the main script, again specifying the PYTHONPATH:
+ > PYTHONPATH=/home/openerp/openerp-tmp/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ \
+ /home/openerp/openerp-tmp/bin/openerp-server
