Installing an ERP and CRM with Odoo on Raspberry Pi
Big companies usually spend a lot of money to have complete ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and CRM (Customer Relationship Management) solutions. These products usually support business and internal tasks to perform correctly complex processes. Small companies usually adopt low-cost solutions (sometimes simple spreadsheets).
In this article, we’ll see a very simple way to setup Odoo on Raspberry Pi computer boards. Please note that Odoo has a resource-intensive installation process, so using a Raspberry PI 4 model B would be better, while the Raspberry PI 3 model B/B+ could result in a timeout error on your browser during the installation process (even this shouldn’t affect your installation, you may need only to reset the admin password as shown in this post).
What is Odoo
Odoo, formerly known as OpenERP, is an open-source enterprise resource planning (ERP) software that offers a suite of business applications to manage and automate various business processes. Odoo provides modules for various business functions, including accounting, inventory management, project management, customer relationship management (CRM), e-commerce, and human resources (HR).
Odoo is built on a modular architecture, which means businesses can choose which modules to use and customize them to suit their specific needs. This makes Odoo highly flexible and adaptable, allowing it to be used by businesses of all sizes and industries.
It has an Open Source basis (Community Edition), but its features can be easily expanded by adding modules and third-party apps and integrations. Odoo has also Customer Support and Commercial features to support the needs of all companies.
What We Need
As usual, I suggest adding from now to your favourite e-commerce shopping cart all the needed hardware, so that at the end you will be able to evaluate overall costs and decide if to continue with the project or remove them from the shopping cart. So, hardware will be only:
Raspberry PI (including proper power supply or using a smartphone micro USB charger with at least 3A)
Start preparing the operating system for your computer board. I suggest to install Raspberry PI OS Lite, as it doesn’t include a desktop environment, so resulting in a more performing solution. If your need, you can also install it on a Raspberry PI OS Desktop.
It is strongly recommended that you have updated your installation before starting:
sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade -y
Install PostgreSQL
Our Odoo installation will keep data into a PostgreSQL database, also this residing in our Raspberry PI computer. Installing the database is as simple as running a single command:
sudo apt install postgresql -y
Installing Odoo
Also installing our Odoo instance is simple, but requires adding a new key:
echo 'deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/odoo-archive-keyring.gpg] https://nightly.odoo.com/16.0/nightly/deb/ ./' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/odoo.list
Issuing a new “sudo apt update” will now get packages also from the odoo repository and will allow us to install Odoo with the aptitude (apt) package manager:
sudo apt update -y && sudo apt install odoo -y
… and wait… The installation will require a while. Once finished, connect with your browser to the following URL (substitute <<YourRaspberryIpAddress>> with the required IP address):
http://<<YourRaspberryIpAddress>>:8069
You will see the following initialization page:
Complete the required fields (at your choice) and click “Create Database”:
Again, wait a while to complete the database configuration. Because of the heavy setup process, the page could result in a timeout. In this case, launch again in your browser the URL:
http://<<YourRaspberryIpAddress>>:8069
The login page will appear:
You should use your email/username and password. If everything is ok, you will be logged on:
If something went wrong because of the heavy installation, don’t give it up! You can use the admin password recovery procedure.
Admin Password Recover Procedure
Type the following terminal command:
sudo nano /etc/odoo/odoo.conf
Change the “admin_passwd = xxxxx” line, by setting your new password for the admin user. So, your odoo.conf should appear similar to the following:
Edit the admin password with whatever you want, save and exit. Restart Odoo:
sudo systemctl restart odoo
Re-launch the default URL (http://<<YourRaspberryIpAddress>>:8069) in your browser and login using “admin” as Email and what you set in odoo.conf as password. If left as mine above, it will be:
Email: admin
Password: my_supersecret_password (the one you edited above)
You should now be able to use your Odoo installation.
Getting Started with Odoo on Raspberry PI
As seen, by default Odoo shows you the App list screen. At the top-right of your Odoo dashboard, you will find the menu button that enables you to switch between apps and settings. The Apps page is the one we’re coming from. When we’ll install new apps, we’ll find their shortcuts in the menù on top, near the menu button
The settings page lets you manage your users and companies. By default, only 1 user is available and you can add more with the “New” button, according to your needs:
Installing an App on Odoo
Odoo is like an empty box. You must add apps in order to get features and functionalities. There are free and paid apps available from the Odoo marketplace (the Apps page). Usually, the free ones have an “Upgrade” button in their widget, while the free ones have an “Activate” button. Let’s try, for example, to activate the Calendar App.
Back to the App dashboard, identify the Calendar widget:
Click the “Activate” button available from Calendar Widget. After the Calendar installation, the button will turn to “Installed”:
Within the same Calendar Widget, the menu on the top right corner will make it possible for to you uninstall the module.
Once installed, you can find the new app from the main menu button:
Here you can note that the Calendar app has also installed a number of additional Apps not required… It’s not a clear behaviour, but till they are free I can remove them one by one.
Now, going to the Calendar app, we’ll finally get our calendar page:

Just for information:
I tried with a Raspberry Pi 3B+ and nice to see the first screen after the installation (initialization page) but after setting up the database, i got always a timeout (trying to show the login page) 🙁
So no working for me with a version lower than the Raspberry Pi 4!
Hi Adam,
as said in this post, installation process after database setup is heavy and may lead to a timeout page. In this case, just wait a while and simply try querying again “http://YourRaspberryIpAddress:8069” page. This time it should work. Let me know if it goes ok.
Many thanks for your feedback
Thanks,
With my Raspberry pi 4 no problem, no timeout, all working perfectly 🙂
The only step to add for me:
Not to forget to setting locale config before installing PostgreSQL and odoo.
Just follow these commands and PERL will not show any error:
*My first comment was concerning the installation in a Raspberry pi 3, I tried twice and was impossible to run it. But anyways, now with the Raspberry pi 4 everything runs great 🙂
Thank you for your feedback, Adam. Addictional ino for Raspberry PI 3B users: to have it working in setup phase, but generally to have the best from Raspberry PI, it is better to use performing SD cards. Performing SD card have the same effect that SDD disks have vs HDD disks on personal computers: if you boost speed on media hosting your OS, you have an overall improvement in performances.

Hello,
During the installation I got this error:
Errors were encountered while processing:
odoo
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
This is a generic final error alert. The cause should be available from previous terminal rows while installing, so I need to get the specific error to help you.
Common causes may be a missing package from required ones, a missing permission, a missing folder, etc. Please try again installation process being aware to follow all steps (from update/upgrade ones) and post all error parts from your terminal
Thank you for the tutorial. I was able to get to the point where I can create a database but after doing so and waiting a while, once I reload the website, I get a temporary error 500.
How can this be troubleshoooted?
Thank you
Hi Eliseu,
please use the Admin Password Recover procedure step. The heavy database setup procedure can bring to 500 server error in Raspberry PI (expecially with not performing micro SD cards). However, the admin password recover procedure should do the trick. Please let me know if it works.
Hi Peppe8o,
what I forgott to mention, I am trying this on a Raspberry Pi 2 with 32 bit OS (Maybe this is an issue? I have just ordered a new Raspberry PI 4 and will try it again once it has been delivered).
I have just done everything from scratch again, but same result. After creating the database and waiting a while, error 500. I than tried the admin password recover procedure, but still getting teh 500 error.

Hi Eliseu,
please try with RPI4. Installation process is already heavy for Raspberry PI 3 model B+, so older models can have too low performances to complete initialization process, resulting in inconsistent modules if timeouts occur during setup.
Let me know if other issues occur with the new PI.

Ok. This should be a really rare problem. I bet you are copying commands from this page to a program like Microsoft Word (or somethig similar), then to your PI terminal. I say this because in wget command the second “-” doesn’t appear to be a minus, but an insane MS Word char…
Please, try to copy command to notepad and check that the “-” char before “https://nightly…..” is a minus. Or use following: wget -O - https://nightly.odoo.com/odoo.key | apt-key add -
Just to be sure I manually typed it in as I was using notepad to make sure the line break in the commands given wouldn’t break anything.
root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# wget -o - https://nightly.odoo.com/odoo.key | apt-key add -echo "deb http://nightly.odoo.com/12/0/nightly/deb/ ,/" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/odoo.list

This time your error comes from the lower case in “-o” option in wget, instead of upper “-O”. Linux command options are case sensitive… Please copy from here and paste directily in your terminal following commands (in 2 different rows): wget -O - https://nightly.odoo.com/odoo.key | apt-key add -
then, after this command execution: echo "deb http://nightly.odoo.com/12.0/nightly/deb/ ./" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/odoo.list
Where does odoo save its data!
Question: If you have set up a Raid 1 system, which files and paths do you have to copy? And which conf must be edited so that odoo can find the data on Raid 1.
Hi Thomas,
you are right, it is really hard to find in Odoo doc where data are stored. I watched at https://registry.hub.docker.com/_/odoo/?tab=description, where docs on installing official odoo image with docker are published. Usually, with Docker you map local volumes where data are stored to avoid data loss on container remotion. According to this document, it seems that Odoo data are in following folders:
Thanks for the Pi version that is much simpler than the other Odoo installs I’ve seen. That said, I get the following error, even though Python3 is installed:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
odoo : Depends: python3-gevent but it is not installable

Hi Jim,
I’m sorry, but I wasn’t able to reproduce your error, as this evening I started from a fresh Raspberry PI OS Lite installation and followed line by line my tutorial, resulting in a complete and working installation without your errors. I can only suggest to start again from a fresh OS setup.
Hi. I think this is a common problem when you copy from web, paste to MS Word and then to terminal. MS Word tend to change “-” (minus) with an horizontal bar. To avoid this, please paste the command to a plain text program (like notepad), check that all are “minus” and then use in terminal
Hi peppe8o,
Could you build odoo img for raspberry pi (.zip. or .img etc..).
Let’s everyone to download. everyone can happy to use odoo after we just restore img.
PS. odoo 12, 13 ,14 different odoo version or just build last version only img (odoo 14).
thx.
Any OS image should be verified costantly (also with different RPI models) and updated on each Odoo update. Installing Odoo from its repository I think is the correct way to stay aligned with current software bug fixes and repositories progress.
You can use this procedure also with newer Odoo versions as a previous user stated that this procedure works also with Odoo 14 (you only need to change repository link when adding to apt sources list).
Hi. This is a strange error, maybe due to different languages encoding. Please try with a fresh Raspberry PI OS Lite installation (in English). You can also use the latest Odoo packages (maybe something corrected in their development flow) with the following line instead of similar one in my tutorial: sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://nightly.odoo.com/14.0/nightly/deb/ ./" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/odoo.list'
Once Odoo is installed and working in English, you will probably change the application language with more luck.
Hi! I was be able to install odoo 14 CE with this method, but can I use it as iotbox at the same time??
Seems like it isn’t recognizing as iotbox anymore.
How should I connect my receipt printer??
Do I need another Pi to set that up?
Hi Yuri. First of all, thank you for your feedback.
Connecting a printer to Raspberry PI depends on printer brand and model. You have to find Linux drivers for your printer (if not already available in your OS installation). For example, HP printers can be managed with the helpful hplip package.
The best way is to look on the internet for your users having the same printer.
You can also think to setup a network printer server by installing CUPS on Raspberry PI.
Hi Guy Thankbyou for your feedback. Regarding wkhtmltopdf it’s hard to say for me… you should ask support to their support (https://wkhtmltopdf.org/support.html) if they can help you.
Sorry, Giuseppe
I installed this three times on an RPi 4B 4GB. Went perfectly each time. First was a test run, second was to conduct an online tutorial and the third time was for real-world usage.
What a great product and an equally well written “how-to.”
Hi,
I Get the following error message. I am new to debian so i probably did something stupid.
bash: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/odoo.list: Permission denied
Can you tell me why the permission is denied? Thanks!
Just for information:
I tried with a Raspberry Pi 3B+ and nice to see the first screen after the installation (initialization page) but after setting up the database, i got always a timeout (trying to show the login page) 🙁
So no working for me with a version lower than the Raspberry Pi 4!
Hi Adam,
as said in this post, installation process after database setup is heavy and may lead to a timeout page. In this case, just wait a while and simply try querying again “http://YourRaspberryIpAddress:8069” page. This time it should work. Let me know if it goes ok.
Many thanks for your feedback
Thanks,
With my Raspberry pi 4 no problem, no timeout, all working perfectly 🙂
The only step to add for me:
Not to forget to setting locale config before installing PostgreSQL and odoo.
Just follow these commands and PERL will not show any error:
$ export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
$ export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
$ export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
$ locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
$ dpkg-reconfigure locales
*My first comment was concerning the installation in a Raspberry pi 3, I tried twice and was impossible to run it. But anyways, now with the Raspberry pi 4 everything runs great 🙂
Thank you for your feedback, Adam. Addictional ino for Raspberry PI 3B users: to have it working in setup phase, but generally to have the best from Raspberry PI, it is better to use performing SD cards.

Better with 3 way command
1)sudo passwd2)su root
3)wget -O - https://nightly.odoo.com/odoo.key | apt-key add - && echo "deb http://nightly.odoo.com/13.0/nightly/deb/ ./" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/odoo.list && apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y && apt-get install postgresql -y && apt-get install odoo -y
4)localhost:8069 (aka PROFIT!)
This does not work – 🙂 any chance you could revisit?
What is your error message received?
Hello,
During the installation I got this error:
Errors were encountered while processing:
odoo
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Can you please help?
This is a generic final error alert. The cause should be available from previous terminal rows while installing, so I need to get the specific error to help you.

Thanks for this post!!!!!
Can I change Odoo 12 by 14 in the installing odoo step?
Sorry for my english, I speack spanish
Maxi
Hi Maxi,
please try using same steps (should not change) and let me know if it works or if you have issues. Thanks, Giuseppe
ok thanks
It works ok with de 14th distribution, great work.
Fantastic! Thank you for your contribute!

Hi Eliseu,
please try with RPI4. Installation process is already heavy for Raspberry PI 3 model B+, so older models can have too low performances to complete initialization process, resulting in inconsistent modules if timeouts occur during setup.
Let me know if other issues occur with the new PI.

I am getting an error for the step: Installing Odoo:

Hi Abot. This is only a warning, not an error. So you should be able to continue by simply ignoring it.

Ok. This should be a really rare problem. I bet you are copying commands from this page to a program like Microsoft Word (or somethig similar), then to your PI terminal. I say this because in wget command the second “-” doesn’t appear to be a minus, but an insane MS Word char…
Please, try to copy command to notepad and check that the “-” char before “https://nightly…..” is a minus. Or use following:
wget -O - https://nightly.odoo.com/odoo.key | apt-key add -Just to be sure I manually typed it in as I was using notepad to make sure the line break in the commands given wouldn’t break anything.
root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# wget -o - https://nightly.odoo.com/odoo.key | apt-key add -echo "deb http://nightly.odoo.com/12/0/nightly/deb/ ,/" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/odoo.listWarning: apt-key output should not be parsed (stdout is not a terminal)
root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# apt update && apt install odoo
E: Type 'gpg' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/odoo.list
E: The list of sources could not be read.
This time your error comes from the lower case in “-o” option in wget, instead of upper “-O”. Linux command options are case sensitive… Please copy from here and paste directily in your terminal following commands (in 2 different rows):
wget -O - https://nightly.odoo.com/odoo.key | apt-key add -then, after this command execution:
echo "deb http://nightly.odoo.com/12.0/nightly/deb/ ./" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/odoo.listAh! Thank you! I learned something!!! 🙂
You are welcome! 😉
Where does odoo save its data!
Question: If you have set up a Raid 1 system, which files and paths do you have to copy? And which conf must be edited so that odoo can find the data on Raid 1.
Hi Thomas,
you are right, it is really hard to find in Odoo doc where data are stored. I watched at https://registry.hub.docker.com/_/odoo/?tab=description, where docs on installing official odoo image with docker are published. Usually, with Docker you map local volumes where data are stored to avoid data loss on container remotion. According to this document, it seems that Odoo data are in following folders:
Hope this can help you
Hi,
Thanks for the Pi version that is much simpler than the other Odoo installs I’ve seen. That said, I get the following error, even though Python3 is installed:

Hi Jim,
I’m sorry, but I wasn’t able to reproduce your error, as this evening I started from a fresh Raspberry PI OS Lite installation and followed line by line my tutorial, resulting in a complete and working installation without your errors. I can only suggest to start again from a fresh OS setup.

how to do next step ?
Hi. I think this is a common problem when you copy from web, paste to MS Word and then to terminal. MS Word tend to change “-” (minus) with an horizontal bar. To avoid this, please paste the command to a plain text program (like notepad), check that all are “minus” and then use in terminal
Hi peppe8o,
Could you build odoo img for raspberry pi (.zip. or .img etc..).
Let’s everyone to download. everyone can happy to use odoo after we just restore img.
PS. odoo 12, 13 ,14 different odoo version or just build last version only img (odoo 14).
thx.
Any OS image should be verified costantly (also with different RPI models) and updated on each Odoo update. Installing Odoo from its repository I think is the correct way to stay aligned with current software bug fixes and repositories progress.
You can use this procedure also with newer Odoo versions as a previous user stated that this procedure works also with Odoo 14 (you only need to change repository link when adding to apt sources list).
Database creation error: decoding with ‘euc_kr’ codec failed
How should I deal with the error shown above?
Hi. This is a strange error, maybe due to different languages encoding. Please try with a fresh Raspberry PI OS Lite installation (in English). You can also use the latest Odoo packages (maybe something corrected in their development flow) with the following line instead of similar one in my tutorial:
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://nightly.odoo.com/14.0/nightly/deb/ ./" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/odoo.list'Once Odoo is installed and working in English, you will probably change the application language with more luck.
Please let me know if this works.
Thank you so much!
This post helped me so much!
Was able to install odoo 14 on my rasp pi 4b.
Hi! I was be able to install odoo 14 CE with this method, but can I use it as iotbox at the same time??
Seems like it isn’t recognizing as iotbox anymore.
How should I connect my receipt printer??
Do I need another Pi to set that up?
Hi Yuri. First of all, thank you for your feedback.
Connecting a printer to Raspberry PI depends on printer brand and model. You have to find Linux drivers for your printer (if not already available in your OS installation). For example, HP printers can be managed with the helpful hplip package.
The best way is to look on the internet for your users having the same printer.
You can also think to setup a network printer server by installing CUPS on Raspberry PI.
For anyone who wants to install odoo v15 on raspberry pi
I got it to work using
apt updateapt upgrade
apt install postgresql -y
wget -O - https://nightly.odoo.com/odoo.key apt-key add -
echo "deb http://nightly.odoo.com/15.0/nightly/deb/ ./" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/odoo.list
apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys DEF2A2198183CBB5
apt update && apt install odoo
I hope it can be useful to someone else
Thanks for this easy to follow step by step installment.
It worked like a charm!
However, there’s one small issue when using CE14.
wkhtmltopdf doesn’t seem to be working correctly so headers and footers are missing on pdf reports.
See https://www.odoo.com/nl_NL/forum/help-1/wkhtmltopdf-how-do-i-install-0-12-5-1-the-one-odoo-needs-on-ubuntu-20-04-177412
Updating wkhtmltopdf doesn’t seem to obvious with a Pi since it’s using ARM architecture.
Any tips on how to proceed?
Hi Guy Thankbyou for your feedback. Regarding wkhtmltopdf it’s hard to say for me… you should ask support to their support (https://wkhtmltopdf.org/support.html) if they can help you.
Sorry, Giuseppe
I installed this three times on an RPi 4B 4GB. Went perfectly each time. First was a test run, second was to conduct an online tutorial and the third time was for real-world usage.
What a great product and an equally well written “how-to.”
Thank you
Thank you for your feedback, DAvid. I’m really happy when my readers get help from my tutorials!
Hi,
I Get the following error message. I am new to debian so i probably did something stupid.
bash: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/odoo.list: Permission denied
Can you tell me why the permission is denied? Thanks!
Hi, probably you’re missing a “sudo” somewhere. Where do you get this error?
