Unable to run odoo properly in Mac OS X

Question

I have installed Odoo 9 Community version from Git in my Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.2, all my steps:

python --version
Python 2.7.10

git clone https://github.com/odoo/odoo.git
Checking out files: 100% (20501/20501), done.

Installed PostgresApp into Applications and added path in ~/.bash_profile, executed the same.

export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/latest/bin

Installed pip

sudo easy_install pip
Finished processing dependencies for pip

I have nodejs installed in my system,

node -v
v5.0.0
npm -v
3.3.9

Installed less and less-plugin-clean-css

sudo npm install -g less less-plugin-clean-css

I have latest xcode installed,

xcode-select --install
xcode-select: error: command line tools are already installed, use "Software Update" to install updates

I have homebrew installed,

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

It appears Homebrew is already installed. If your intent is to reinstall you
should do the following before running this installer again:
    ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall)"
The current contents of /usr/local are bin Cellar CODEOFCONDUCT.md CONTRIBUTING.md etc include lib Library LICENSE.txt opt README.md sbin share SUPPORTERS.md var .git .gitignore

Installed other libs

brew install autoconf automake libtool
brew install libxml2 libxslt libevent

Installed Python dependencies

sudo easy_install -U setuptools
Finished processing dependencies for setuptools

cd odoo/
sudo pip install --user -r requirements.txt

Successfully installed Mako-1.0.1 Pillow-2.7.0 Werkzeug-0.9.6 argparse-1.2.1 lxml-3.4.1 psutil-2.2.0 psycopg2-2.5.4 pyparsing-2.0.1 python-dateutil-1.5 python-ldap-2.4.19 pytz-2013.7 pyusb-1.0.0b2 qrcode-5.1 six-1.4.1

Running odoo

export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

./odoo.py --addons-path=addons --db-filter=mydb

It says

2016-02-10 16:51:42,351 3389 INFO ? openerp: OpenERP version 9.0c

And the browser says 500 500 Internal Server Error and in terminal,

conn = _connect(dsn, connection_factory=connection_factory, async=async)
OperationalError: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
    Is the server running locally and accepting
    connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

Started PostgresApp to solve this issue.

Now I got the database setup window appears without CSS as in the below screen-shot.

Created database mydbodoo with password admin and navigated to main page http://localhost:8069/web/ It shows a blank page with black header and odoo logo, some error in terminal as well.

ImportError: No module named pyPdf

@anshad, when you install freshly and open in browser you will get a Database page, there you need to give a DB name, username and password. That will be you default email/username and password. — iam supreeth, Feb 01 '16 at 04:19
I think you have done correctly because you are getting the login screen, go to manage database and create new database, UN and pwd. use that UN and PWD in login page — iam supreeth, Feb 01 '16 at 04:21
Might problem of installing of bootstrap or less. Default login and password will be "admin" and "admin". — Bhavesh Odedra, Feb 01 '16 at 06:01
@Odedra How can I fix the library installation issue to get the CSS loaded? I didn't got any errors. — Anshad Vattapoyil, Feb 01 '16 at 06:29
The css/js errors are because your addons path must not be correct. Try launching with `./odoo.py --addons-path=addons --db-filter=mydb$` (remove `openrp/`) — l'L'l, Feb 05 '16 at 01:37
In `/web/static/src/img/` do you see for example `logo2.png`? — l'L'l, Feb 05 '16 at 02:08
@l'L'l I can see all the files like images, css and js in their folder. — Anshad Vattapoyil, Feb 05 '16 at 02:28
Tried to run like this as well `./odoo.py --addons-path=openerp/addons,addons`. In addons folder I can see web module and all the resource files in that. — Anshad Vattapoyil, Feb 05 '16 at 02:31
have you tried with another database ? and server start with this *./openerp-server* and checkout what the result came — Bhavesh Odedra, Feb 05 '16 at 05:26
@Odedra Yes tried that as well.got screen same as above and the same error. — Anshad Vattapoyil, Feb 05 '16 at 12:06
@devo If you got *web* error than that's means Server can not find web module as provided *--addons-path* I would suggest that make a empty folder name with web-addons and place all web module relevance. And than give permission for read,write. Now add that *web-addons* path in *--addons-path* — Bhavesh Odedra, Feb 05 '16 at 15:01
I was getting the exact same screen as you above, I did pip install werkzeug==0.9.4 — Adamz, Feb 07 '16 at 12:12
@devo u may also try to update the werkzeug package form the terminal or Have you tried to refer the http://www.serpentcs.com/serpentcs-openerp-installation-guide-on-mac-osx-10-9 document it may helpful for you — DASADIYA CHAITANYA, Feb 07 '16 at 17:40
In your addons folder, check whether you have base and web modules,there are two addons folder copy all the contents of odoo/openerp/addons to odoo/addons folder then restart the server and try again — Kiran, Feb 08 '16 at 13:52
@Bhanukiran I have these files in system. Tried fresh installed as updated in question. But no luck, getting some import error. — Anshad Vattapoyil, Feb 10 '16 at 17:18
@DaSaDiYaChaiTAnYa That doesn't worked for me. Updated my question with complete steps. — Anshad Vattapoyil, Feb 10 '16 at 17:19
@Odedra Updated question with full steps, I have the import error in terminal console. — Anshad Vattapoyil, Feb 10 '16 at 17:20

Borys Serebrov · Answer 1 · 2016-02-11T10:01:38.190

I just went through the setup on two systems, one is Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.2 and another one is my primary OS - Ubuntu 15.04 (where things went much easier, but maybe it is just because I use Ubuntu on daily basis).

Below are installation steps for both systems. Make sure that every command finishes successfully (at least doesn't report any errors).

Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.2

Prerequisites: I already had git and python 2.7.10.

1) Clone odoo repository:

git clone https://github.com/odoo/odoo.git

2) Download and install Postgresapp

Go to http://postgresapp.com/, download
Open it in Finder, drag to Applications, double click
Postgres application appears, double click it
Sorry if these steps are obvious, it is just for me since I am not a Mac OS user

Now add to ~/.bash_profile:

export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/latest/bin

And just execute the command above it if you already have the open terminal.

3) Install pip

sudo easy_install pip

4) Install nodejs

Go to https://nodejs.org,
Download node v4.3.0
Move to Applications, run and install
Open terminal and check that node and npm commands are available

5) Install less and less-plugin-clean-css

sudo npm install -g less less-plugin-clean-css

Should show output like this:

/usr/local/bin/lessc -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/less/bin/lessc
less-plugin-clean-css@1.5.1 /usr/local/lib/node_modules/less-plugin-clean-css
└── clean-css@3.4.9 (source-map@0.4.4, commander@2.8.1)
less@2.6.0 /usr/local/lib/node_modules/less
├── mime@1.3.4
├── graceful-fs@3.0.8
├── image-size@0.3.5
├── errno@0.1.4 (prr@0.0.0)
├── promise@6.1.0 (asap@1.0.0)
├── source-map@0.4.4 (amdefine@1.0.0)
├── mkdirp@0.5.1 (minimist@0.0.8)
└── request@2.69.0 (aws-sign2@0.6.0, forever-agent@0.6.1, tunnel-agent@0.4.2, oauth-sign@0.8.1, is-typedarray@1.0.0, caseless@0.11.0, stringstream@0.0.5, isstream@0.1.2, json-stringify-safe@5.0.1, extend@3.0.0, tough-cookie@2.2.1, node-uuid@1.4.7, qs@6.0.2, combined-stream@1.0.5, mime-types@2.1.9, form-data@1.0.0-rc3, aws4@1.2.1, hawk@3.1.3, bl@1.0.2, har-validator@2.0.6, http-signature@1.1.1)

6) Install binary dependencies

I think not all the steps below are really necessary, but I performed them, so include just for the case they actually were needed.

Run in the terminal xcode-select --install, when dialog appears - agree to install
Go to http://brew.sh and follow instructions to install homebrew

Once you have brew, run the following in the terminal:

brew install autoconf automake libtool
brew install libxml2 libxslt libevent

7) Install python dependencies

sudo easy_install -U setuptools
pip install --user -r requirements.txt

It should show something like this at the end:

Successfully installed Babel-1.3 Jinja2-2.7.3 Mako-1.0.1 MarkupSafe-0.23 Pillow-2.7.0 PyYAML-3.11 Python-Chart-1.39 Werkzeug-0.9.6 argparse-1.2.1 beautifulsoup4-4.4.1 decorator-3.4.0 docutils-0.12 feedparser-5.1.3 gdata-2.0.18 gevent-1.0.2 greenlet-0.4.7 jcconv-0.2.3 lxml-3.4.1 mock-1.0.1 ofxparse-0.14 passlib-1.6.2 psutil-2.2.0 psycogreen-1.0 psycopg2-2.5.4 pyPdf-1.13 pydot-1.0.2 pyparsing-2.0.1 pyserial-2.7 python-dateutil-1.5 python-ldap-2.4.19 python-openid-2.2.5 python-stdnum-1.2 pytz-2013.7 pyusb-1.0.0b2 qrcode-5.1 reportlab-3.1.44 requests-2.6.0 six-1.4.1 suds-jurko-0.6 vatnumber-1.2 vobject-0.6.6 xlwt-0.7.5

8) Run odoo

cd odoo  # change dir to the folder you cloned odoo to
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

# Re-check parameters, it looks like addons path you used is incorrect
./odoo.py --addons-path=addons --db-filter=mydb

Now you should see the output like this:

INFO ? openerp: OpenERP version 9.0c
INFO ? openerp: addons paths: ['/Users/dev/Library/Application Support/Odoo/addons/9.0', u'/Users/dev/projects/odoo/addons', '/Users/dev/projects/odoo/openerp/addons']
INFO ? openerp: database: default@default:default
INFO ? openerp.service.server: HTTP service (werkzeug) running on 0.0.0.0:8069

9) Open odoo in your browser

Go to http://localhost:8069
The database setup window appears (see the first screenshot below)
Enter databse name = mydbodoo (I think the prefix mydb is important here) and password admin
You can also check the checkbox to load the demo data
Click Create database
Wait and you should be redirected to the odoo interface (see the second screenshot)

Done!

Update: Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.2 with virtualenv

Do the same as above, on step (7) do not run pip install --user -r requirements.txt and instead to this:

pip install virtualenv  # not sure here, sudo may be needed
mkdir ~/venv
cd ~/venv
mkdir odoo
virtualenv odoo
source ~/venv/odoo/bin/activate
cd ~/path/to/odoo
pip install -r requirements.txt  # no sudo here!

Now continue with step (8). Each time, before starting odoo make sure to activate the virtualenv first:

source ~/venv/odoo/bin/activate
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

./odoo.py --addons-path=addons --db-filter=mydb

Ubuntu 15.04

Prerequisites: I already had postgresql 9.4.5, nodejs 0.10.25 and python 2.7.8.

Installation:

git clone https://github.com/odoo/odoo.git 
cd odoo
sudo apt-get install libldap2-dev libsasl2-dev libevent-dev libxslt1-dev libxml2-dev 
pip install -r requirements.txt
sudo npm install -g less less-plugin-clean-css
./odoo.py --addons-path=addons --db-filter=mydb

That's all, now setup the same way as in the step (9) for Mac OS.

I did the same, updated question. The error looks like ``ImportError: No module named pyPdf``, still not working. — Anshad Vattapoyil, Feb 10 '16 at 17:15
@devo then it means that pip install was not successful, `pypdf` is actually one of the requirements listed in the `requirements.txt`. Try to repeat the step number (7) and make sure there are not errors or if there are errors - then post them, it's not possible to say what went wrong just from the import error. My guess is that pip failed before the pypdf installation or during it. — Borys Serebrov, Feb 10 '16 at 17:21
I got success response as mentioned in question.And `sudo pip install pyPdf` says `Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): pyPdf in /Users/anshad/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages` — Anshad Vattapoyil, Feb 10 '16 at 17:24
@devo Actually pip should be run without `sudo`, like `pip install --user pypdf==1.13`. Does it work if you run `python` from the command line and then do `import pyPdf`? — Borys Serebrov, Feb 10 '16 at 17:28
@devo try to re-run pip install without `sudo`, just `pip install --user -r requirements.txt` — Borys Serebrov, Feb 10 '16 at 17:31
Without the `sudo`, I am getting permission errors ``error: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/Users/anshad/Library/Python/2.7'`` — Anshad Vattapoyil, Feb 11 '16 at 04:27
@devo looks like something is not right with access permissions to the python's folders. The `--user` flag is supposed to install to the location accessible to your user, so `sudo` should not be needed. Another way to solve this - install [virtualenv](https://virtualenv.readthedocs.org/en/latest/), create a virtual environment for odoo and install all the python dependencies there (as well as then run odoo from this environment). — Borys Serebrov, Feb 11 '16 at 09:29
@devo I updated the answer, see the `Update: Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.2 with virtualenv`, it should help with dependenices. — Borys Serebrov, Feb 11 '16 at 10:02
Great! Something comes now. Got two menus but nothing else.When I clicked on preferences, it says `Error: Widget type 'html' is not implemented` — Anshad Vattapoyil, Feb 11 '16 at 17:57
@devo is is complex to say just from the error text. Looking at code, it is something client-side related thrown from the javascript. Maybe some files are missing? Try to recheck if odoo repository was cloned completely and successfully or download an archived version. It should be easier this time since you already have all the dependenices and don't need to go through the whole installation process again. — Borys Serebrov, Feb 11 '16 at 18:29

Their might be a few issue of python modules, library, packages, or nodejs.

Try with below information:

Following command will install all python modules required by Odoo.
```
pip install lxml
```

Check your werkzeug version. It will be 0.9.6, if not than upgrade it.

pip show werkzeug #this command will show the details of werkzeug
pip install werkzeug==0.9.6 #this command will install werkzeug up to 0.9.6

Install nodejs via your preferred package manager (homebrew, macports) then install less and less-plugin-clean-css:
```
npm install -g less
npm install -g less-plugin-clean-css
```

For more information, Odoo9 setup documentation.

NOTE:

Default login and password will be admin and admin.

EDIT: 1

Try to resolve ImportError: No module named pyPdf with below command.

pip install pypdf

EDIT: 2

If you don't find relevance distributor than try with below command.

pip install --allow-unverified pyPdf pyPdf

I did all these, still not working. Updated question. – Anshad Vattapoyil Feb 10 '16 at 17:16
@devo, I have edited my answer which will resolve your *ImportError* – Bhavesh Odedra Feb 10 '16 at 17:55
It says ``Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement python-pypdf (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for python-pypdf`` – Anshad Vattapoyil Feb 11 '16 at 04:24
Says ``Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): pyPdf in /Users/anshad/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages`` – Anshad Vattapoyil Feb 11 '16 at 16:49

I did everything but couldn't run odoo on my mac 10.11.6.

I had this problem when I try to run odoo ./odoo.py

psycopg2 can't find symbol _PQbackendPID

I found out I have many version of python installed ranging form 2.3 to 3.5

Deleted all version of python How to uninstall Python 2.7 on a Mac OS X 10.6.4?

$ brew uninstall --force python3
$ brew uninstall --force python

Clear all changes in ~/.bash_profile

also deleted /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages

Then start from beginning:

 $ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

 $ brew update
 $ brew install python

 $ brew install postgresql

To start the PostgreSQL right now and automatically at system startup we run:

 $ ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/postgresql/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents
 $ launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist
 // I had error: LaunchAgents not found 
 // If you have error you can download postgres from postgresapp.com to manually start the server

Install some dependencies

$ brew install freetype jpeg libpng libtiff webp xz
$ pip install --upgrade pip
$ pip uninstall virtualenv
$ pip install virtualenv
// Delete existing ~/odoo-env folder first
$ virtualenv ~/odoo-env  
$ . ~/odoo-env/bin/activate

Clone git repository branch 9.0

$ git clone https://github.com/odoo/odoo.git -b 9.0

change to the cloned odoo directory (with cd) and run (you have to be in your virtual environment):

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

If Successfully installed, run

$ export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
$ export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
$ python ./odoo.py

I get the same issue and it seems that my system is not using the correct Six library. What you can do first is to update your library

sudo pip2 install six -U

And once you have done that, your system can use the wrong library again. To check that, you can create a python file like this

#vi testsix.py to create the file
#type i to insert
import six
print six.__file__
#escape
#type wq to save
#chmod +x testsix.py
#python testsix.py

Then if you read

/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/six.pyc

Then you have to remove this file

rm -rf /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/six.*

Then you can re-check the file testsix.py and check you get this path

/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/six.pyc

Then you should re-launch your odoo server.

I get this from the Oriol Nieto's answer I was trying to solve the previous Internal Server Error I get.

Note if you are using El Capitan and you meet some permission issue even with sudo, you may need to check this link to remove some root access
