Introduction
In Chapter 1, Installing the Odoo Development Environment, we have seen how to set up an Odoo instance using only the standard "core" addons, which are shipped by the editor. This chapter focuses on adding noncore addons to an Odoo instance, be it your own addons, or third-party addons such as the ones maintained by the Odoo Community Association (OCA).
Note
About the terminology – addon versus module
In this book, we will use the term addon or addon module to refer to a Python package that respects the expected format to be installed in Odoo. The user interface often uses the word module for this, but we prefer keeping this term for Python modules or packages that are not necessarily Odoo addons.
