Manually install plugins on Odoo

If you can’t find the plugin you want to install in the Odoo plugin catalog, you can upload and install a module from the command line. To do so, follow these instructions:

  • Navigate to the Odoo plugin catalog and select the version of the application you have installed (in this case, v10.0):

    Odoo Apps catalog

  • Select the plugin you want to install and download it (make sure that you are downloading a plugin compatible with the current version of Odoo).

  • Log in to the server console. Learn how to connect to the server through SSH.

  • Once you have accessed the server, change to the Odoo addons directory:

      $ cd /opt/bitnami/odoo/addons
    
  • Uncompress the module archive into a single directory and upload the directory to the server. Follow these instructions to upload files to the server with SFTP.

  • Once you upload the module codebase to the addons directory within the Odoo installation directory, make sure that you can manage the uploaded files as the daemon user:

      $ sudo chown -R bitnami:odoo MODULE-FOLDER-NAME
      $ sudo chmod -R g+rwX MODULE-FOLDER-NAME
