When trying to install any community module from OpenERP 7.0 > Configuration > Online Apps, I get this error: Permission denied: '/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/openerp/addons/*addon_name*' (See full traceback below).

How can I configure OpenERP to install community modules in /opt/openerp/addons?

Notes

In /etc/openerp/openerp-server.conf I have tried with all these options, but the error is always the same:

  1. addons_path = /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/openerp/addons/,/opt/openerp/addons/
  2. addons_path = /opt/openerp/addons/,/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/openerp/addons/
  3. addons_path = /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/openerp/addons/
  4. addons_path = /opt/openerp/addons/

openerp user in my Ubuntu system has ownership and write access to /opt/openerp/:

$ sudo -u openerp touch /opt/openerp/addons/hello
$ ls /opt/openerp/addons/
hello

When installing module l10n_es_toponyms:

Quick, unsecure, bad solution:

sudo chown openerp:openerp /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/openerp/addons

I hope someone else can give a better one.

At the end, even this wasn't useful, because when having more than 4 users, OpenERP S.A. asks for payments to use one-click install.

To make it easier to install community modules, I created a little collection of bash scripts called OpenERP Community Repositories Installer that someone can find useful. Read its README.
