This is a quick how to to get OpenERP going on an Ubuntu / Debian server.

First install a postgreSQL server:

sudo apt-get install postgresql


Install wget:

sudo apt-get install wget

Get the latest OpenERP v7 deb package:

wget http://nightly.openerp.com/7.0/nightly/deb/openerp_7.0-latest-1_all.deb

Install the deb package:

sudo dpkg -i openerp_7.0-latest-1_all.deb

The install will fail but fix it with the following:

sudo apt-get -f install

When it”s finished you should have your own OpenERP 7 server (http://servername:8069)
