How to install Python dependencies for Odoo

Install the Python packages that Odoo and your custom modules need on TurboStack, using the platform-managed pip.

Install dependencies required by Odoo and your custom modules using pip. On TurboStack, Python is platform-managed through pyenv, and the pip on your PATH installs into the environment that runs Odoo. There is no virtual environment to create or activate by hand. For the file layout and service details, see Odoo reference.

Odoo core requirements

cd ~/application
pip install -r odoo/requirements.txt

Custom modules

If your custom modules include their own requirements.txt, install it:

pip install -r ~/application/custom/<module_name>/requirements.txt

Replace <module_name> with the module's directory name. Repeat for each module that has its own requirements.txt.

Apply the changes

Restart Odoo so it loads the newly installed packages:

systemctl --user restart application.service

Best practices

  • Use the pip that is already on your PATH (the pyenv-managed pip).
  • Avoid installing system-wide.
