Tryton installation instruction

INSTALL.rst

This installation instrucion describes how to install Tryton Server and Client from scratch for development purposes.

1. Create virtualenv with virtualenvwrapper:

   mkvirtualenv -p /usr/bin/python2.7 trytond
   

2. Install Tryton Server:

   pip install trytond==4.0.4
   

3. Install optional dependencies:

   pip install psycopg2==2.6.2
   

4. Create PostgreSQL database:

   sudo -u postgres psql << EOF
   CREATE USER tryton WITH SUPERUSER UNENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'tryton';
   CREATE DATABASE tryton OWNER tryton TEMPLATE=template0 ENCODING='utf-8' LC_COLLATE='en_US.UTF-8' LC_CTYPE='en_US.UTF-8';
   EOF
   

5. Create configurationo file for Tryton Server:

   cat << EOF > ./tryton.conf
   [web]
   listen=127.0.0.1:8000
   
   [database]
   # uri = database://username:password@host:port/
   uri=postgresql://tryton:tryton@127.0.0.1:5432/tryton
   
   [jsonrpc]
   # Settings for the JSON-RPC network interface
   listen=127.0.0.1:8000
   data=/tryton/sao
   EOF
   

6. Initialize database and update all installed modules:

   # TODO(dmu) LOW: Why should I have `-d tryton` option although database name is already configured in ./tryton.conf ?
   trytond-admin -c ./tryton.conf -v -d tryton --all
   # Type admin password when prompted
   # TODO(dmu) LOW: Use TRYTONPASSFILE to avoid typing password?
   

7. Run server in development mode:

   trytond -c ./tryton.conf -v -d tryton --dev
   

8. Create virtualenv with virtualenvwrapper:

   mkvirtualenv -p /usr/bin/python2.7 tryton-client
   

9. Install Tryton Client:

   pip install tryton==4.0.4
   

10. Fix pygtk installation for virtualenv:

    pushd $(dirname `which python`)/../lib/python2.7/site-packages
    ln -s /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pygtk.py
    ln -s /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pygtk.pth
    ln -s /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/
    ln -s /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gobject/
    ln -s /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/glib/
    ln -s /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/cairo/
    popd
    

11. Run Tryton Client:

    tryton
    # Host: 127.0.0.1:8000
    # Database: tryton
    # User name: admin
    # Password: admin
    

12. [Optional] Install simple module for testing installation:

    workon trytond
    pip install trytond_party
    trytond-admin -c ./tryton.conf -v -d tryton --all
    # Restart Tryton Server:
    trytond -c ./tryton.conf -v -d tryton --dev
    # Restart Tryton Client
    tryton
    # 1. In Tryton Client open by double click: Administration -> Modules -> Modules
    # 2. Click at "Mark for installation" for "party" module
    # 3. In tool bar click "Launch action" -> "Perform Pending Installation/Upgrade"
    # 4. Click "Start Upgrade"
    # 5. Wait until upgrad finishes and click "OK"
    # 6. Cancel all wizards
    # 7. Find "Part" item in the left bar above "Administration" item
