1.Module Delivery

After purchasing a much. module, you will receive the code as a ZIP file by email. The ZIP file correspond ​to the latest version of our product.

2.Module Deployment

After receiving a module, the deployment differs depending on your hosting type. This article covers ​odoo.sh and self-hosting.

➡️ Odoo.sh

• Unzip the file received in the previous section
• Upload the module in your instance repository, locally, using the following command : 

$ git submodule add -b <branch> git@github.com:<repo>.git <module_name>

$ git add .gitmodules

$ git add <submodule_name>

$ git commit -s -m "add submodule"

$ git push 

• Once the code is pushed to a staging branch or to the main branch and the build is done, the Odoo modules in the submodule will be available on the instance.

➡️ ​Self-Hosted Odoo

• Unzip the file received in the previous section
• Add the module in the repository locally, and push the changes to the git repo hosting platform(Ex. Github) using the below command : 

$ git submodule add -b <branch> git@github.com:<repo>.git <module_name>

$ git add .gitmodules

$ git add <submodule_name>

$ git commit -s -m “add submodule”

$ git push 

• Access the server on which Odoo is deployed, using the following ssh command:

$ ssh user@192.168.1.10

• Head to the directory that contains the repository you want to install and pull the changes on the server, using $ git pull. Changes will take place in the .gitmodules file.
• Initialise the submodule on the server, using the below command : 

$ git submodule update --recursive --init

• Edit the Odoo configuration file so that Odoo can recognise the newly added modules(Inside the submodule). For this, you need to change the addons-path variable to add the path to the sub-module.
• Restart the Odoo service, using the following command : 

$ sudo systemctl restart odoo
