Other installation options

It is worth noting that installation packages are also available for Debian-based (such as Ubuntu) and Red Hat-based (such as CentOS and Fedora) Linux systems.

We won't be able to go into much detail on how to install them, but if you are familiar with Debian or Red Hat, this is also an option to consider. The installation packages are available from https://download.odoo.com, and the official documentation provides a good explanation on how to install them at https://www.odoo.com/documentation/master/setup/install.html.

Regarding the source code installation, it is the most complex, but also the most versatile of the installation alternatives, and it will be explained in detail in Chapter 2, Preparing the Development Environment.
