How to Configure PyCharm for Odoo Development in Windows? Installing Odoo in windows is the really easy task. We can do it by just running the ‘.exe’ file.

But for development purposes, this method is not preferred. Pycharm is an IDE which can be used for Odoo development in Windows, Linux, and mac.

In this blog, we will discuss setting up Odoo development environment in windows using pycharm. These are the steps we need to follow. Download and install python 2.7 from here based on your system architecture. After installing python, we need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler.

Go to this link Download and install it. Download PostgreSQL and configure. Create a new user for Odoo: You can either create a user (role) using the pgadmin or directly from the command prompt. For creating a user with pgadmin, first, configure pgadmin and then go to the roles section and create a new role. Then under the privileges tab of this role, provide all the access. From the command prompt, you can create the user with the following commands. First, go to the PostgreSQL installation directory using ‘cd’ (usually “C: Program Files PostgreSQL”) cd 'C: Program Files PostgreSQL 9.6 bin' (Here ‘9.6’ is my PostgreSQL version.

Change it accordingly) createuser.exe --createdb --username postgres --no-createrole --pwprompt odoo You will be asked for the password, provide a password and remember it. We may need it during odoo installation. Now download Pycharm from here and install. Download odoo and extract the contents to a folder. Open pycharm and create a project with the folder which we have extracted in the last step. Now we need to install some packages for odoo. In the extracted odoo folder, we can find a ‘ requirements.txt ’ file.

However I did install it in an attempt to get pandas for PyCharm. It looks like that may be the problem. Now I am trying to figure out how to delete the libraries and packages that PyCharm cannot use, without damaging anything on my Mac.

Cd C: python27 (change to the location where python is installed. You can also do this from any location if you add python path to your system’s path variable. For this, go to My PC > Properties > Advanced System Settings > Environment Variables > and edit the path and add your python path ) python -m pip install -r C: Users Odoo-10.0 requirements.txt (we have to specify the ‘requirements.txt’ file with its complete path.) 8.

Download and install pywin32 from here. You need to download the correct version based on your system architecture and python. Note that you cannot install 64 bit pywin32 on a system with 32-bit python installed. It will show an error saying that ‘Python is not found’. Download and install pip.

Download the file get-pip.py and move it to python installation location. Cd C: python27 python get-pip.py 10. Now we need to configure odoo. Open pycharm and edit the file ‘ odoo-server.conf ’ (usually, this file may be inside the Debian folder in odoo’s folder) Edit the contents like this,; admin_passwd = admin db_host = localhost db_port = 5432 db_user = odoo db_password =odoo (the password you have provided when the user is created) addons_path = C: Users odoo10 addons You can change the default port of odoo by using ‘ xmlrpc_port = new port no. Additional installations We need to install some other features also, for working without errors. A) Install setuptools: From cmd, run cd C: python27 python -m pip install --upgrade setuptools b) Install Wheel & Lxml-3.6.4-cp27-cp27m-win32.Whl cd C: python27 python -m pip install wheel c) Go to this link and then from a terminal, python -m pip install lxml-3.6.4-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl d) Install PSYCOPG2 from e) Install nodejs Go to cd C: Program Files nodejs (here you specify installation location nosejs) npm install -g less less-plugin-clean-css f) Install wkhtmltopdf from here (I prefer using version 12.1) 12. Now we need to create a service with pycharm.

For this, open pycharm and under the run menu, go to edit configurations option and click on the ‘ + ’ to create a new configuration, select python from the list. Now we need to select script and script parameters. In the script field, select the odoo -bin file. In the script parameters section fill it like this, -c /path to odoo.conf file, i.e., for example, -c /home/odoo/odoo-10.0/odoo.conf. Now we can run Odoo from pycharm. Please help me in this case what happen with me!
