Installing
useradd -m openerp
Installing database
Assuming 'openerp' is the user you start the server as. As root do:
su postgres createuser openerp exit
As user openerp run
openerp-server.py
As any user run
openerp-client.py
Cancel the first dialog, and instead go File->Databases->New. The first password is "admin" by default, the second one is up to you to decide.

documentation says:
su terp -c "/usr/local/openerp/bin/openerp-server --init=all -lnl_NL --pidfile=/var/run/TinyERP/tinyerp-server.pid --logfile=/var/log/TinyERP/tinyerp-server.log -s --stop-after-init"
Errors and possible interpretations of them
psycopg.ProgrammingError: ERROR: relation "ir_module_module" does not exist
This means no tables have been created, documentation of course fails to tell this.
FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user
Means given user is not allowed to connect to database
Client on Gentoo
dependencies
- dev-python/pytz
- egenix-mx-base
- psycopg:0
./setup.py install
Install notes
NOTES
server --init is broken, it won't create a database, if one exists it breaks because it can't find tables, use the client File->Databases dialog (just cancel the login dialog) after configuring config.py and create a postgres user with --create-db rights.
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'/usr/local/openerp/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/openerp-server/addons/base/base.sql'
this is because base.sql only exists, (bug in setup.py) in the lib/python tree, copy it:
find /usr/local/openerp/lib/ -name "*'xml" | while read i; do rsync -avR $i /usr/local/openerp/lib64/ done find /usr/local/openerp/lib/ -name "*'csv" | while read i; do rsync -avR $i /usr/local/openerp/lib64/ done
ERROR: syntax error at or near "EXISTS" at character 14
DROP VIEW IF EXISTS account_analytic_analysis_summary_month
upgrade postgresql to 8.2 or up
etc etc etc
