Before you start
- Confirm the target Odoo version and the module's supported version.
- Make a backup if you are working with a real database.
- Check that the module folder contains a valid __manifest__.py file.
- Keep third-party and private modules in a custom addons path.
Basic installation flow
- Copy the module folder into the custom addons path.
- Restart Odoo if the environment does not watch file changes.
- Enable developer mode and update the Apps List.
- Search for the module by its display name or technical name.
- Install the module and review the first screen it adds.
Common mistakes
- The folder name does not match the expected technical module name.
- The addons path in the Odoo config does not include the folder location.
- A dependency listed in the manifest is missing.
- The module was copied inside another folder, so Odoo cannot see the manifest.
Commands, screenshot and common errors
The block below keeps the article practical: one command/check, one visual reference and the first errors to inspect.
git clone https://github.com/DokPlay/odoo-community-plus-addons.git
# copy the module folder into your custom addons path- Odoo cannot see the module because the addons path or folder nesting is wrong.
- The manifest declares a dependency that is missing from the current environment.
- The first real log error is often above later cascade errors.
