Odoo 10 Tutorial

Start/Stop the Odoo server

Odoo uses a client/server architecture in which clients are web browsers accessing the Odoo server via RPC.

Business logic and extension is generally performed on the server side, although supporting client features (e.g. new data representation such as interactive maps) can be added to the client.

In order to start the server, simply invoke the command odoo-bin in the shell, adding the full path to the file if necessary:

./odoo-bin 

The server is stopped by hitting Ctrl-C twice from the terminal, or by killing the corresponding OS process.
