Using an Odoo SaaS trial database

The simplest way to get started with Odoo is to use an Odoo software as a service (SaaS) trial database. In this case, we don't need to install anything – just go to https://odoo.com/ and click Try it free button.

You will be asked to select the first app to install in the new database. For the purpose of following this chapter, any choice will work for us, so feel free to choose any of the proposed apps. If you're unsure, the CRM app is a good choice.

Figure 1.2 – The Odoo SaaS trial database initial app choice

New SaaS databases use the latest Odoo SaaS version – which is always based on the last stable Odoo EE version – but also have their own minor releases. So, it will not match the last stable Odoo EE version exactly.

The free trial will be valid for a period of 15 days. At the time of writing, the Odoo SaaS edition offers a free plan that allows you to keep this database running after this period (as long as you have more than one app installed).
