Odoo 13 requires Python 3.6 or later, therefore, we are installing Python 3.6 and other relevant packages using yum command.
# yum -y install python36u python36u-devel python36-pillow python36-lxml npm nodejs libxml2-devel libjpeg-devel libxml2 libxslt libxslt-devel libpng libjpeg openssl icu libX11 libXext libXrender xorg-x11-fonts-Type1 xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi python3-pip python3-setuptools git openldap-devel

# su - postgres -c "createuser -s odoo"
Create an Linux user to own CRM software and processes.
# adduser --system --home-dir=/opt/odoo --shell=/bin/bash -m odoo
Create directories as required by Odoo.
# mkdir /etc/odoo # mkdir /var/log/odoo/

# chown -R odoo:odoo /opt/odoo/ # chown -R odoo:odoo /var/log/odoo/
Installing Odoo 13 Server on CentOS 7:
Download the latest source of Odoo from Github using git command.
# git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/odoo/odoo.git /opt/odoo/odoo

Odoo source contains a file requirements.txt that contains list of required Python libraries. We can easily install all required Python libraries as follows.
# pip3.6 install -r /opt/odoo/odoo/requirements.txt
Start Odoo CRM and create config file.
# su - odoo -c "/opt/odoo/odoo/odoo-bin --addons-path=/opt/odoo/odoo/addons -s --stop-after-init"

Move config file to /etc/odoo directory.
# mv /opt/odoo/.odoorc /etc/odoo/odoo.conf
Set location of Odoo logfile in config file.
# sed -i "s,^\(logfile = \).*,\1"/var/log/odoo/odoo-server.log"," /etc/odoo/odoo.conf
Create symbolic link for Odoo executable.
# ln -s /opt/odoo/odoo/odoo-bin /usr/bin/odoo
A predefined systemd service is provided with Odoo source, therefore, we can use it to create Odoo service on CentOS 7.
# cp /opt/odoo/odoo/debian/odoo.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/
Enable and start Odoo service.
# systemctl enable --now odoo.service
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/odoo.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/odoo.service.
Configure CentOS 7 firewall to allow Odoo default port 8069/tcp. Optionally you can configure a Reverse Proxy using Varnish Cache to route users via default HTTP port 80/tcp.
# firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=8069/tcp success # firewall-cmd --reload success
Verify Odoo version.
# odoo --version
Running as user 'root' is a security risk.
