-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
+pydot - Python interface to Graphviz's Dot language
+Ero Carrera (c) 2004-2007
+ero@dkbza.org
-For Fedora
-if they are not installed, install:
-python and postgresql
+This code is distributed under the MIT license.
-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.
+Requirements:
+-------------
-There are two accounts by default:
- * login: admin, password:admin
- * login: demo, password:demo
+pyparsing: pydot requires the pyparsing module in order to be
+ able to load DOT files.
-Some instructions to use setup.py for a user-install.
-This file should/will be moved on a proper documentation place later.
+GraphViz: is needed in order to render the graphs into any of
+ the plethora of output formats supported.
+Installation:
+-------------
-- Possibly clean any left-over of the previous build.
- > rm -rf dist openerp_server.egg-info
+Should suffice with doing:
-- 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
+ python setup.py install
-- Create the user-local directory where we want the package to be installed:
- > mkdir -p /home/openerp/openerp-tmp/lib/python2.6/site-packages/
+Needless to say, no installation is needed just to use the module. A mere:
-- 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
+ import pydot
-- 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
+should do it, provided that the directory containing the modules is on Python
+module search path.
