install odoo 12 on ubuntu 18.04 - module not founderror : no module named 'babel'

Question

I've created a new virtual machine with Ubuntu 18.04 and trying to install Odoo 12 from this link, but I'm facing error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'babel'

Answer 1

Don't install odoo manually by running those commmands.

I have a better solution for this.(without any error you will enjoy odoo)

odoo installtion script:-

https://github.com/Yenthe666/InstallScript/tree/12.0

just download this and open up terminal --> go to your downloads folder where you downloaded this script

run script by sudo ./odoo_install.sh

Answer 2

Try this and see if it solves your particular issue with Babel:

sudo -H pip3 install babel

Answer 3

You need intall all required modules Python for Odoo works. Go to Odoo path (generally /opt/odoo) and exec

    pip3 install -r requirements.txt

If you need just resolve babel instalation, so

    pip3 install babel

Answer 4

Step five, sub-step 2 of the specified process mentioned the installation of Babel and that's case sensitive.

It specifies (emphasis mine):

pip3 install Babel decorator docutils ebaysdk feedparser gevent greenlet html2text Jinja2 lxml Mako MarkupSafe mock num2words ofxparse passlib Pillow psutil psycogreen psycopg2 pydot pyparsing PyPDF2 pyserial python-dateutil python-openid pytz pyusb PyYAML qrcode reportlab requests six suds-jurko vatnumber vobject Werkzeug XlsxWriter xlwt xlrd

After switching to the odoo user, please retry step five and make sure it's entered as Babel not babel because the error message you provided says the Python package management system could not find babel in lowercase. Typically, that's caused by a typing error.
