Introduction
In this tutorial, we’ll install and configure Odoo version 14 on CentOS 7. We can use the same installation instructions for both server and desktop edition. We will cover how to install the software in two different ways, each of which has their own benefits depending on your specific needs.
Prerequisites
Before starting this tutorial, you will need:
A CentOS 7 Desktop or Server with a root, sudo-enabled user.
A good internet connection to download the packages via various internet repositories.

sudo mkdir /etc/odoo && mkdir /var/log/odoo/
Step 3 — Installing Necessary OS Related Packages
sudo yum install https://centos7.iuscommunity.org/ius-release.rpm -y && sudo yum update -y && yum upgrade -y && sudo yum groupinstall 'Development Tools' -y && sudo yum install python36u python36u-devel python36-pillow python36-lxml npm nodejs libxml2-devel libjpeg-devel libxml2 libxslt libxslt-devel wget libpng libjpeg openssl icu libX11 libXext libXrender xorg-x11-fonts-Type1 xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi python3-pip python3-setuptools git openldap-devel -y
Step 4 — Installing PostgreSQL
rpm -Uvh https://yum.postgresql.org/10/redhat/rhel-7-x86_64/pgdg-centos10-10-2.noarch.rpm && yum install postgresql10-server postgresql10 -y && /usr/pgsql-10/bin/postgresql-10-setup initdb && systemctl start postgresql-10.service && systemctl enable postgresql-10.service
Step 5 — Installing Node Packages Required by Odoo
sudo npm install -g less less-plugin-clean-css -y
Step 6 — Cloning Odoo 14 From Source Repository
git clone --depth=1 --branch=14.0 https://github.com/odoo/odoo.git /opt/odoo/odoo
Step 7 — Change Ownership of Odoo Directory
sudo chown odoo:odoo /opt/odoo/ -R && sudo chown odoo:odoo /var/log/odoo/ -R
Step 8 — Installing Python Packages Required by Odoo
cd /opt/odoo/odoo && sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Step 9 — Installing wkhtmltopdf
cd /tmp && wget https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/releases/download/0.12.5/wkhtmltox-0.12.5-1.centos7.x86_64.rpm && rpm -Uvh wkhtmltox-0.12.5-1.centos7.x86_64.rpm
Step 10 — Linking wkhtmltopdf as Command
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf /usr/bin/ && sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltoimage /usr/bin/
Step 11 — Creating PostgreSQL user for Odoo
sudo su - postgres -c "createuser -s odoo"
Step 12 — Starting Odoo and Creating Config File
sudo su - odoo -c "/opt/odoo/odoo/odoo-bin --addons-path=/opt/odoo/odoo/addons -s --stop-after-init"
Step 13 — Moving Config File To Config Directory
sudo mv /opt/odoo/.odoorc /etc/odoo/odoo.conf
Step 14 — Modifying Configuration Parameters
sudo sed -i "s,^\(logfile = \).*,\1"/var/log/odoo/odoo-server.log"," /etc/odoo/odoo.conf
sudo sed -i "s,^\(logrotate = \).*,\1"True"," /etc/odoo/odoo.conf
sudo sed -i "s,^\(proxy_mode = \).*,\1"True"," /etc/odoo/odoo.conf
Step 15 — Setting up Odoo Executable
sudo ln -s /opt/odoo/odoo/odoo-bin /usr/bin/odoo
Step 16 — Setting Up Odoo To Start at OS StartUp
sudo cp /opt/odoo/odoo/debian/odoo.service /etc/systemd/system/odoo.service && chmod +x /etc/systemd/system/odoo.service && sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo systemctl start odoo && sudo systemctl enable odoo && chkconfig --levels 2345 odoo on
