Brew cask install android-sdk Later on: android update sdk -no-ui -filter 'platform-tools' Like a charm. Effective in macOS Catalina, Apple has started using Zsh (pronounced Z Shell) instead of bash as the default terminal. So when we pipe the command to bash, it doesn’t know to update the configuration for Zsh instead. An easy way to remedy this situation would just be to not pipe the command to bash and instead run it in Zsh. Print instructions for setting up the command-not-found hook for your shell. If the output is not to a tty, print the appropriate handler script for your shell. Services subcommand Manage background services with macOS’ launchctl(1) daemon manager.

In this tutorial we will look into how to install Odoo on Mac OS using the package manager Homebrew.
Install Homebrew:
If you do not already have Homebrew set up on your system, you can install it by running the command below in the terminal:
/usr/bin/ruby-e'$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)' |
To check that Homebrew is installed, run the command:
This should return something like:
Now that Homebrew is set up, let’s start installing the different packages we need to run Odoo.
Installing Python:
Odoo was written in Python so we need to install it. There is a version of Python that comes set up with every macOS installation but it is not supported by Odoo. So we need to install a new one. Run the command:
Installing Postgresql:
Odoo will need a database management system to store its data, we are going to use PostgreSQL.
Start the Postgres server:
This will start Postgres at port 5432. To make sure that it is running you can run the commands lsof-I:5432 or pg_ctl-D/usr/local/var/postgres status
Installing Less:
Less (which stands for Leaner Style Sheets) is a backwards-compatible language extension for CSS. We will be using npm (node package manager) to install it.
The node package manager is set up while installing node.js. We are going to use nvm (node version manager) to install node.js. So here are the steps:
- Install nvm: brew install nvm
- Install node: nvm install node (to install the latest stable version of node) or nvm install version_number (to install a specific version of node)
- Install less globally: npm install-gless
Installing freetype:
Next, we need to install Freetype and other libraries
Installing the Xcode command line tools:
Installing Odoo:
Clone Odoo from the GitHub Repository.
Next, change directory into the odoo directory ( cdodoo ) and install the dependencies included in the requirements.txt file.
Tip: When working with Python dependencies, it is recommended to use virtualenv to avoid conflicts between different versions.
Running the Odoo server:
After installing the dependencies, we can now run the Odoo server. Run the command below:
This will start Odoo at port 8069. Open the browser and go to localhost:8069.
You will be presented with this screen:
Setting up the database:
The final step is to create a database by filling out the form. If this is your first time installing Odoo, make sure you check the button “Load demonstration data” to get some sample data to work with.
If everything went right, you should have the screen below:
That’s it! You are all good to go.
Troubleshooting:
Error 1: ValueError: unknown locale: UTF-8
You might get the error ValueError:unknown locale:UTF-8 when you run the command ./odoo-bin . To fix this issue, add the code below to your ~/.bash_profile
2 | export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 |
This will these environment variables LC_ALL and LANG.
Error 2: Internal Server Error
The Odoo server is running but when you open localhost:8069 in the browser you get an Internal Server Error. Chances that PostgreSQL is not running. Make sure it’s running with the command lsof-I:5432 and if it is not you can start it with the command pg_ctl-D/usr/local/var/postgres status

Tutorial
Introduction
The command line interface is a non-graphical way to interact with your computer. Instead of clicking buttons with your mouse, you’ll type commands as text and receive text-based feedback. The command line, also known as a shell, lets you automate many tasks you do on your computer daily, and is an essential tool for software developers.
While the command line interface on macOS has a lot of the functionality you’d find in Linux and other Unix systems, it does not ship with a package manager. A package manager is a collection of software tools that work to automate software installations, configurations, and upgrades. Package managers keep the software they install in a central location and can maintain all software packages on the system in formats that are commonly used.
Homebrew is a package manager for macOS which lets you install free and open-source software using your terminal. You’ll use Homebrew to install developer tools like Python, Ruby, Node.js, and more.
In this tutorial you’ll install and use Homebrew on your Mac. You’ll install system tools and desktop applications from the command line interface.
Prerequisites
You will need a macOS computer running Catalina or higher with administrative access and an internet connection. While older versions of macOS may work, they are not officially supported.
Step 1 — Using the macOS Terminal
To access the command line interface on your Mac, you’ll use the Terminal application provided by macOS. Like any other application, you can find it by going into Finder, navigating to the Applications
folder, and then into the Utilities
folder. From here, double-click the Terminal application to open it up. Alternatively, you can use Spotlight by holding down the COMMAND
key and pressing SPACE
to find Terminal by typing it out in the box that appears.
To get more comfortable using the command line, take a look at An Introduction to the Linux Terminal. The command line interface on macOS is very similar, and the concepts in that tutorial are directly applicable.
Now that you have the Terminal running, let’s install some additional tools that Homebrew needs.
Step 2 — Installing Xcode’s Command Line Tools
Xcode is an integrated development environment (IDE) that is comprised of software development tools for macOS. You won’t need Xcode to use Homebrew, but some of the software and components you’ll want to install will rely on Xcode’s Command Line Tools package.
Execute the following command in the Terminal to download and install these components:
You’ll be prompted to start the installation, and then prompted again to accept a software license. Then the tools will download and install automatically.
You can now install Homebrew.
Step 3 — Installing and Setting Up Homebrew
To install Homebrew, you’ll download an installation script and then execute the script.
First, download the script to your local machine by typing the following command in your Terminal window:
The command uses curl
to download the Homebrew installation script from Homebrew’s Git repository on GitHub.
Let’s walk through the flags that are associated with the curl
command:
- The -
f
or--fail
flag tells the Terminal window to give no HTML document output on server errors. - The
-s
or--silent
flag mutescurl
so that it does not show the progress meter, and combined with the-S
or--show-error
flag it will ensure thatcurl
shows an error message if it fails. - The
-L
or--location
flag will tellcurl
to handle redirects. If the server reports that the requested page has moved to a different location, it’ll automatically execute the request again using the new location. - The
-o
switch specifies a local filename for the file. Rather than displaying the contents to the screen, the-o
switch saves the contents into the file you specify.
Before running a script you’ve download from the Internet, you should review its contents so you know what the script will do. Use the less
command to review the installation script so you understand what it will do'
Once you’re comfortable with the contents of the script, execute the script with the bash
command:
The installation script will explain what it will do and will prompt you to confirm that you want to do it. This lets you know exactly what Homebrew is going to do to your system before you let it proceed. It also ensures you have the prerequisites in place before it continues.
You’ll be prompted to enter your password during the process. However, when you type your password, your keystrokes will not display in the Terminal window. This is a security measure and is something you’ll see often when prompted for passwords on the command line. Even though you don’t see them, your keystrokes are being recorded by the system, so press the RETURN
key once you’ve entered your password.
Press the letter y
for “yes” whenever you are prompted to confirm the installation.
Once the installation process is complete, you will want to put the directory Homebrew uses to store its executables at the front of the PATH
environment variable. This ensures that Homebrew installations will be called over the tools that macOS includes.
The file you’ll modify depends on which shell you’re using. ZSH is the default shell on macOS Mojave and higher. The Bash shell is a popular shell that older versions of macOS used as the default, and if you’ve upgraded your OS, you may still be using Bash.
Execute the following command to determine your shell:
You’ll see either bash
or zsh
.
If you’re using ZSH, you’ll open the file ~/.zshrc
in your editor:
If you’re using the Bash shell, you’ll use the file ~/.bash_profile
:
Once the file opens up in the Terminal window, add the following lines to the end of the file:
The first line is a comment that will help you remember what this does if you open this file in the future.
To save your changes, hold down the CTRL
key and the letter O
, and when prompted, press the RETURN
key. Then exit the editor by holding the CTRL
key and pressing X
. This will return you to your Terminal prompt.
To activate these changes, close and reopen your Terminal app. Alternatively, use the source
command to load the file you modified.
If you modified .zshrc
, execute this command:
If you modified .bash_profile
, execute this command:
Once you have done this, the changes you have made to the PATH
environment variable will take effect. They’ll be set correctly when you log in again in the future, as the configuration file for your shell is executed automatically when you open the Terminal app.
Now let’s verify that Homebrew is set up correctly. Execute this command:
If no updates are required at this time, you’ll see this in your Terminal:
Otherwise, you may get a warning to run another command such as brew update
to ensure that your installation of Homebrew is up to date. Follow any on-screen instructions to fix your environment before moving on.
Step 4 — Installing, Upgrading, and Removing Packages
Now that Homebrew is installed, use it to download a package. The tree
command lets you see a graphical directory tree and is available via Homebrew.
Install tree
with the brew install
command:
Homebrew will update its list of packages and then download and install the tree
command:
Homebrew installs files to /usr/local
by default, so they won’t interfere with future macOS updates. Verify that tree
is installed by displaying the command’s location with the which
command:
The output shows that tree
is located in /usr/local/bin
:
Run the tree
command to see the version:
The version prints to the screen, indicating it’s installed:
Occasionally, you’ll want to upgrade an existing package. Use the brew upgrade
command, followed by the package name:
You can run brew upgrade
with no additional arguments to upgrade all programs and packages Homebrew manages.
When you install a new version, Homebrew keeps the older version around. After a while, you might want to reclaim disk space by removing these older copies. Run brew cleanup
to remove all old versions of your Homebrew-managed software.
To remove a package you’re no longer using, use brew uninstall
. To uninstall the tree
command, execute this command:
The output shows that the package was removed:
You can use Homebrew to install desktop applications too.
Step 5 — Installing Desktop Applications
You’re not restricted to using Homebrew for command-line tools. Homebrew Cask lets you install desktop applications. This feature is included with Homebrew, so there’s nothing additional to install.
Test it out by using Homebrew to install Visual Studio Code. Execute the following command in your terminal:
The application will install:
Brew Command Not Found Mac Os Catalina Update
You’ll find the application in your Applications
folder, just as if you’d installed it manually.
To remove it, use brew uninstall
:
Homebrew will remove the installed software:
It performs a backup first in case the removal fails, but once the program is fully uninstalled, the backup is removed as well.
Step 6 — Uninstalling Homebrew
If you no longer need Homebrew, you can use its uninstall script.
Download the uninstall script with curl
:
As always, review the contents of the script with the less
command to verify the script’s contents:
Once you’ve verified the script, execute the script with the --help
flag to see the various options you can use:
The options display on the screen:
Use the -d
flag to see what the script will do:
The script will list everything it will delete:
When you’re ready to remove everything, execute the script without any flags:
