📘 Odoo Community Setup Tutorial — Modules, Developer Mode & Community Accounting
In this tutorial, I will demonstrate the initial Odoo setup process using a fresh Odoo database.
We will cover three important steps: activating the required Odoo modules, enabling Developer Mode, and installing a Community Accounting module as a third-party application.
What You’ll Learn:
🚀 Activate the required Odoo modules
🛒 Install and activate Purchase
💰 Install and activate Sales
📦 Install and activate Inventory
🏭 Install and activate Manufacturing
🧾 Prepare the system for Accounting
🛠️ Enable Developer Mode
🐞 Verify Developer Mode using the developer/bug icon
📥 Download and extract a third-party Accounting module
📁 Create a dedicated custom addons directory
⚙️ Configure the Odoo odoo.conf file to include the custom addons path
🔄 Restart the Odoo Windows service
🔃 Update the Odoo Apps List
📋 Search for and activate the Community Accounting module
✅ Verify that the Accounting module has been installed successfully
🗂️ Part 1 — Activating Odoo Modules
We start with a fresh Odoo database and activate the modules required for our business processes:
🛒 Purchase
💰 Sales
📦 Inventory
🏭 Manufacturing
🧾 Accounting
I will demonstrate the installation process using the Purchase module and then show how to activate the remaining required modules.
🛠️ Part 2 — Activating Developer Mode
Next, we enable Developer Mode from:
Settings → Developer Tools → Activate the developer mode
Developer Mode provides access to additional technical and configuration features that are useful when customizing and configuring Odoo.
🧾 Part 3 — Installing Community Accounting
In this section, we will install a free Community Accounting module as a third-party application.
The process includes:
📥 Obtain the appropriate Accounting module for your Odoo version
📦 Extract the ZIP file
📁 Create a dedicated addons_custom directory
⚙️ Add the custom addons path to odoo.conf
📋 Copy the Accounting module into the custom addons directory
🔄 Restart the Odoo server service
🔃 Update the Odoo Apps List
🔎 Search for the Accounting module
🚀 Activate the module
✅ Verify that the Accounting application is available
⚠️ Important: The Community Accounting module demonstrated in this video is a third-party/community module, not the official Odoo Enterprise Accounting application. Make sure you use a module that is compatible with your specific Odoo version.
📂 Example Custom Addons Path
For this tutorial, we create a dedicated custom addons directory rather than placing the third-party module directly inside Odoo's standard addons folder.
Example:
C:\Program Files\Odoo 18.0\server\odoo\addons_custom
The corresponding path is then added to the Odoo configuration file (odoo.conf).
📌 After Completing This Tutorial
Your Odoo database will have the required modules activated, Developer Mode enabled, and the Community Accounting module installed, providing a foundation for configuring the company's business processes.
