What the update does
- Odoo scans configured addons paths.
- It reads manifests and updates module metadata in the database.
- It does not install every discovered module automatically.
Checklist
- Enable developer mode.
- Open Apps and update the Apps List.
- Clear the Apps search filters if the module is still hidden.
- Search by technical name if the display name is different.
- Check server logs if the module manifest has a syntax problem.
When it still does not appear
- Confirm the custom addons path is in odoo.conf.
- Confirm the manifest file is directly inside the module folder.
- Check dependencies and XML syntax before trying again.
Commands, screenshot and common errors
The block below keeps the article practical: one command/check, one visual reference and the first errors to inspect.
odoo-bin -c odoo.conf -d your_database -u base --stop-after-init- 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.
Next step
If the module is still invisible, send the addons path and module folder structure.
