+Installation Steps
+------------------
+
+1. Check that all the required dependencies are installed.
+
+2. Create a postgresql database.
+
+The default database name is "terp". If you want to use another name, you
+will need to provide it when launching the server (by using the commandline
+option --database).
+
+To create a postgresql database named "terp" using the following command:
+    $ createdb --encoding=UNICODE terp
+
+If it is the first time you use postgresql you might need to create a new user
+to the postgres system using the following commands (where myusername is your
+unix user name):
+
+    $ su -
+    # su - postgres
+    $ createuser openerp
+    Shall the new user be allowed to create databases? (y/n) y
+    Shall the new user be allowed to create more new users? (y/n) y
+    CREATE USER
+    $ logout
+    # logout
+
+3. Launch service daemon by "service openerp-server start".
+
+The first time it is run, the server will initialise the database with all the default values.
+
+4. Connect to the server using the GUI client.
+
+There are two accounts by default:
+    * login: admin, password:admin
+    * login: demo, password:demo
