Easy Odoo v10 Installation Steps For Ubuntu

Using a VM (Virtual Machine) gives you your own Odoo Server!
You can use this method to create a VM for Odoo 9, and Odoo 10, as well as VM’s for each client project you have to support. Start and stop each VM as you need it. You can connect to the VM while you are in the office, at home, on a plane or in your hotel – no network connection is needed after you have installed Odoo!
This example works on Windows 10 with Virtual Box at or higher than 5.1.4. Plan for 2-3 hours of time. There are many resources on the web to help with the installation of Virtual Box – We list only the main steps here.

Wait until the system is installed. Leave HTTP proxy information blank on CONFIGURE THE PACKAGE MANAGER.

When you get to the SOFTWARE SELECTION screen, make sure POSTGRESQL DATABASE is checked.

    “What stood out about Bista was definitely the responsiveness from the point that we made the
    first contact, they were very quick to respond to my query…and then we scheduled. Because I was
    on a very tight deadline. I wanted it up and running within a month…. They were responsive, they had a team dedicated [to take care of what was happening] …people working around the clock.”
