Configuring OpenERP in PyCharm For Development

The instructions are based on the wiki page - http://bloopark.de/en_US/blog/the-bloopark-times-1/post/setup-odoo-development-on-os-x-with-pycharm-109 . This one talks about Odoo (OpenERP 8). The below guide talks more specifically about OpenERP 7 and Installing Bahmni ERP customizations.

Download PyCharm from the Jetbrains site. The community edition should be sufficient.
https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/
Ensure that Homebrew is installed in your Mac machine.
If Python is not installed, run the following command:
```
    brew install python
```
Install local Postgres server or we can use the one that is available in vagrant box or docker container.
Install relevant python modules using the following command:
```
    brew install freetype jpeg libpng libtiff webp xz
```

Perform the following link operation to freetype2

    ln -s /usr/local/include/freetype2 /usr/local/include/freetype

Installing Python modules using pip will be a cleaner option. Please follow the commands.

    pip install virtualenv
    virtualenv ~/odoo-env
    . ~/odoo-env/bin/activate

At this point, the command "which python" should point us to
```
/Users/youruser/odoo-env/bin/python
```
Download the OpenERP version used in Bahmni.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/wjf7jlcm4c3txbc/openerp-7.0-20130301-002301.tar.gz?dl=0
Unzip it to some location. Lets say (~/openerp-7.0-20130301-002301)
Run the openerp setup using the following command from the unzipped folder:
python setup.py install

Once the installation is complete, you can start the openerp using the following command.

./openerp-server --database openerp --without-demo all --db_host <your_database_host> --update all

Start the PyCharm and Open the project. Select the folder (~/openerp-7.0-20130301-002301)
Configure the "Run..." settings (Run > Run ...)
Ensure that the Python Interpreter is selected as the one created in Step 7.

Bahmni Customizations:
Checkout https://github.com/Bhamni/openerp-modules
Copy the modules to addons folder of your openerp installation (~/openerp-7.0-20130301-002301/openerp/addons)
PyCharm's "Run" command will start OpenERP.
```
