[Bug 1024013] [NEW] Missing description: Howto install ADDONS from apps.openerp.com

 

Public bug reported:

This reads ultra-simplistic - however, today I spent more than half an
hour to find information about how to install addons published on
http://apps.openerp.com/ - there is no single line of information on the
apps website what to do with the downloaded zip file - also a search in
the manual for "apps.openerp.com" or  "install apps" did not provide
anything useful.

Here is a great opportunity to lower the entry barrier for OpenERP
interested people - just one or two sentences of description on
http://apps.openerp.com/ and people like me have more time to
concentrate on the more complicated things.

E.g.:

"copy the content of the downloaded zip file into
/usr/lib/openerp-6.1-1/openerp/addons - in the admin interface go to
modules and rescan for new modules."

BTW there is a little disinformation going on for newbies - is it addons
or apps? Is this the same? is there a difference between addons and
apps...?
