60
<p>On Ubuntu, install the <strong>postgresql</strong> package:</p>
61
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>sudo apt-get install postgresql</pre>

<span class="target" id="index-4"></span></div>

65
<h3>Setup a PostgreSQL user<a class="headerlink" href="#setup-a-postgresql-user" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
66
<p>When the installations of the required software are done, you have to create a
67
PostgreSQL user. Open ERP will use this user to connect to PostgreSQL.</p>
69
<div class="section" id="add-a-user">
70
<h3>Add a user<a class="headerlink" href="#add-a-user" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
71
<p>The default superuser for PostgreSQL is called <em>postgres</em>. We will use it below
72
as an example. If you wish to use it as well, you may need to login as this
74
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>johndoe$ sudo su - postgres
76
postgres$ createuser --createdb --no-createrole --pwprompt openuser
77
Enter password for new role: XXXXXXXXXX
78
Enter it again: XXXXXXXXXX
82
<p>, assuming you want to create the <em>openuser</em> role.</p>
83
<p>Option explanations:</p>
86
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--createdb</span></tt> : the new user will be able to create new databases</li>
87
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--username</span> <span class="pre">postgres</span></tt> : <em>createuser</em> will use the <em>postgres</em> user (superuser)</li>
88
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--no-createrole</span></tt> : the new user will not be able to create new users</li>
89
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--pwprompt</span></tt> : <em>createuser</em> will ask you the new user’s password</li>
90
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">openuser</span></tt> the new user’s name</li>
93
<p>You can now start the Open ERP Server. You will probably need to modify the
94
Open ERP configuration file to your need.</p>

<p>For an installation which need full UTF8 character support consider to use
99
postgres >= 8.2.x. Prior to this Open ERP search will eventually not return the
100
expected results for case insensitive searches, which are used for searching
101
partners, products etc.</p>
