Updating the addon modules list
As we said in the preceding recipe, when you add a directory to the addons path, just restarting the Odoo server is not enough to be able to install one of the new addon modules. A specific action is required for Odoo to scan the addons path and update the list of the available addon modules.
Getting ready
Start your instance and connect to the instance using the Administrator account and activate the developer mode (refer to Chapter 1, Installing the Odoo Development Environment).
How to do it…
To update the list of the available addon modules in your instance, you need to perform the following steps:
- Open the
Appsmenu:
Click on
Update Apps List:
- In the dialog, click on the
Updatebutton. - At the end of the update, you can click on the
Appsentry to see the updated list of the available addon modules. You will need to remove the default filter onAppsin the search box to see all of them.
How it works…
When the Update button is clicked on, Odoo will read the addons...
