This show has been flagged as Clean by the host.

A show about downloading and installing extra Odoo addons.

There are 18780 lines of Python code in the core of Odoo (18)

The standard set of available apps are usually installed in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/odoo/addons/

Take note of the Linux File Hierarchy Standard

So install your own stuff somewhere under /usr/local.

For this show we standardize on /usr/local/lib/python3/odoo/addons

But some use /opt/odoo.

Edit /etc/odoo/odoo.conf and add:

addons_path = /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/odoo/addons, /usr/local/lib/python3/odoo/addons

Find extra apps for example in: https://apps.odoo-community.org/shop

First example:

"Web Responsive", "https://github.com/OCA/web/", subdirectory "web_responsive"

Next go to:

Menu->Settings->Enable developermode->Goto Apps app->Update list of apps: to scan for all apps

Install the app you just installed in /usr/local/lib/python3/odoo/addons

Some more apps:

"Web No Bubble" ,"https://github.com/OCA/web/", subdirectory "web_no_bubble"

"Remove odoo.com Bindings", "https://github.com/OCA/server-brand/", subdirectory "disable_odoo_online"
