Installation

open-eObs is a set of Odoo modules that allow for electronic observations and builds on the NHClinical set of modules.

We currently develop against our own tag of Odoo, this is to ensure consistency so it's recommended when installing Odoo that you install this version.

Once you've downloaded Odoo, installed it's dependencies and installed PostgreSQL 9.3 you need to update the server.cfg file of your Odoo installation to point to the NhClinical and Open-eObs directories.

After restarting the server you can then log in as the admin user and install the nh_eobs_mobile or nh_eobs_mental_health modules. These install the Acute and Mental Health configurations of Open-eObs.

Additional modules such as nh_eobs_adt_gui and nh_eobs_analysis can also be installed at this stage.

Upgrading

To upgrade the open-eObs modules you just need to update the Open-eObs modules and press the upgrade module button for nh_eobs_mobile or nh_eobs_mental_health depending on what you have installed.

It's recommended you backup the existing database and module files before upgrading so you can restore should anything go wrong.
