This VM is created for 2 reasons: 1. Very little initial setup work required to make a ERP live, within minutes. 2. This system should keep running for Years, without requiring Updates / Breakages.

Features
- A surprisingly simple, user-friendly, FREE, Open Source & Comprehensive ERP software with 32 different Apps, for meeting various Company Needs.
- The original FREE Odoo Community Edition ERP software that millions use daily.
- As this system is meant for local network usage, it uses a self-signed https certificate. Hence, browsers will throw a warning for the first time. Please accept the same and proceed ahead.
- If you do not have a "SMTP Server" already, then it is very easy, to get a new one, by searching on Google for "Cloud Email Solution for Business" in your area/country. This Email solution must support "SMTP Connectivity" from the Email Client, that the Odoo Software uses. Optionally, these solutions also give you storage facilities for sent emails, as well. The cost for all this, including a new business email domain name, may come up to 10 $ per year. Also, note that the free email providers like Gmail do not support SMTP Connectivity from these Email Clients, by default.
- If you like Odoo ( as i did ), you can support its development efforts, by purchasing an Enterprise license. Just click on its links, mentioned in the application.
- A small correction in the Video below: Choose a LAN Card Network Adapter Connection in Virtualbox ( Not Wifi ), after connecting your PC to your Router / Switch, with a LAN Cable. If the Router / Switch has a DHCP Server enabled inside, then the Virtual Machine, will be able to obtain an IP Address from it, quickly.
