Hello Guys,

To install Aeroo Reports and all related dependencies please do the following at a terminal in Ubuntu 14.04:

0. cd/tmp

0. sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OdooCommunityWidgets/install-scripts/8.0/aeroo_reports /aeroo_install.sh

0. sudo sh aeroo_install.sh

This script has a yes/no option for installing Odoo 8.0, and the Aeroo reports Odoo modules. If you have a pre-existing Odoo installation you can choose no when you get to the prompt for installing Odoo 8, and choose yes when you get to the option for installing the Aeroo Reports (aeroo_reports) modules for Odoo 8.

For installing the Aeroo Reports (aeroo_reports) modules this script assumes you already have the following directory:

/opt/odoo/custom

and

/opt/odoo/custom/addons

and it also assumes that your /etc/odoo-server.conf file includes the following directory in your addons_path line, for example:

addons_path = /opt/odoo/odoo-server/addons,/opt/odoo/custom/addons

Aeroo Reports installation method for Ubuntu 14.04:
