ERPLibre

ERPLibre is a CRM/ERP platform including automated installation, maintenance, and development of open source modules of the Odoo community version. It is a "soft-fork" of the Odoo Community Edition (OCE), meaning it aims at contributing back upstream. It is based on a set of production-ready modules, supported by the Odoo Community Association (OCA) and an ecosystem of specialized companies. This solution ensures digital sovereignty in a local environment while integrating pre-trained Generative Transformers (GPT), bringing an additional dimension to data management and automation.

• Interactive CLI (TODO.py) : guided interactive tool for installation, execution, database management, code formatting, mobile compilation, and more. Launch it with make
• Code generator : generate Odoo modules automatically with support for views, portal, snippets, inheritance, i18n, and JavaScript
• Selenium automation : web testing and automation with Selenium Grid, video recording, and login automation
• Mobile application : ERPLibre Home Mobile (Owl + Capacitor), compiled and deployed via TODO.py
• Docker deployment : production-ready Docker images with PostgreSQL 18 and PostGIS
• Deployment tools : Nginx, Apache, Cloudflare DDNS, Certbot SSL, systemd services
• Database tools : backup, restore, clone, migration between versions, production-to-dev migration
• Performance tools : request-per-second measurement, parallel test execution, coverage analysis

Supported Odoo versions

Odoo version	Python	Status
18.0	3.12.10	Active
17.0	3.10.18	Inactive
16.0	3.10.18	Inactive
15.0	3.8.20	Deprecated
14.0	3.8.20	Deprecated
13.0	3.7.17	Deprecated
12.0	3.7.17	Deprecated

Switch between versions with make switch_odoo_18, make switch_odoo_16, etc.

The Python in that table is the one of the Odoo virtual environment. The tooling virtual environment .venv.erplibre (TODO, repo, formatters) runs its own interpreter, 3.14.7, set by conf/python-erplibre-version. Where a distribution does not carry it, pyenv compiles it.

Supported platforms

• Ubuntu : 24.04, 25.10, 26.04 — 20.04 and 22.04 are dropped, pikepdf requiring a qpdf 12.2 built in C++20
• Linux Mint : 22.3
• Debian : 12 (bookworm) and 13 (trixie)
• Fedora : 41 and later
• AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux : 9 and 10 — RHEL and CentOS Stream take the same path
• openSUSE : Leap 16.0 and Tumbleweed
• Arch Linux : rolling release
• NixOS : 25.11 — the dependencies are DECLARED in conf/nixos/erplibre.nix and applied by nixos-rebuild, where the four other families install them one command at a time
• macOS : through mise or pyenv
• Windows : through WSL or Docker
• Architectures : amd64, arm64 and s390x (IBM Z mainframe)

Installation in production

Easy installation on Ubuntu or Debian using Docker

This has been tested in Debian 12 and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.

Note : This is meant for a test environment, on a local network or similar environment not directly exposed to the Internet.

1. Make sure Docker and nginx web server are installed:
   sudo apt install docker.io docker-compose-v2 nginx

2. Get the latest ERPLibre Docker compose file:
   wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ERPLibre/ERPLibre/master/docker-compose.yml

3. Install and run ERPLibre with Docker running as a daemon (web server):
   sudo docker compose up -d

4. Open the final installation step at this web page :
   http://[server IP]:8069/web/database/manager
   

5. Finish the installation by providing a database name, email and password. then click on Create Database. Depending on your system resources this may take more than 2 minutes without feedback ! Check your browser loading indicator.

6. Next, the web page will reload itself, and you should see the Applications list in ERPLibre:
   

   You can now personalize your ERPLibre installation.

For more information, read Docker guide.

Install from source code

Automated installation

For Debian/Ubuntu

sudo apt install make python3

Clone the project:

git clone https://github.com/ERPLibre/ERPLibre.git
cd ERPLibre

Follow the instruction on the following script, it will try to detect your environment.

make

Manually

Into Ubuntu, minimal dependency:

sudo apt install make git curl

Into Ubuntu, developer dependency:

sudo apt install make build-essential libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev curl llvm libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev xz-utils tk-dev liblzma-dev libbz2-dev libldap2-dev libsasl2-dev

Clone the project:

git clone https://github.com/ERPLibre/ERPLibre.git
cd ERPLibre

make install_os detects the distribution and picks the right dependency script: apt for Ubuntu, Linux Mint and Debian, dnf for Fedora and the RHEL family, zypper for openSUSE, pacman for Arch, and a declarative module for NixOS. See the supported platforms above.

make install_os
make install_odoo_18

Install a specific Odoo version:

make install_odoo_16
make install_odoo_17
make install_odoo_18

Update your configuration if you need to run from another interface than 127.0.0.1, file config.conf

xmlrpc_interface = 0.0.0.0

Show version :

make version

Ready to execute:

make run

Test
