Install odoo on macos

Tested on macos High Sierra (10.13.3)

1) install Homebrew

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

2) Install Python, postgresql and needed modules

$ brew update
$ brew install python
$ brew install postgresql
$ brew install freetype jpeg libpng libtiff webp xz

3) Add postgresql to system startup

$ ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/postgresql/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents
$ launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist

4) install less compiler

$ brew install npm
$ npm install -g less

5) setup odoo environment

I recommend using virtualenvwrapper

$ mkvirtualenv odoo -p /path/to/python2.7  # generally /usr/bin/python2.7
$ which python  # should return:
/Users/<user>/.virtualenvs/odoo/bin/python

Use deactivate to get out of odoo environment, use workon odoo to activate the environment.

6) clone odoo

$ cd ~/projects
$ git clone https://github.com/odoo/odoo.git odoo

7) Install odoo requirements

$ cd odoo
$ git checkout 9.0
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

You should now be able to start a simple odoo instance with python odoo.py
