I added my custom addon to default directory with other addons

addons_path = c:\program files\odoo 16.0.20240228\server\odoo\addons

Hi,

Please check the below steps.


1. Added the correct path of your custom module in your odoo conf file.

2. Please try to update the App List , for that Enable debug Mode -> Go to Apps -> Update App list


Search for your app


3.restart your odoo service by using command"systemctl restart your_odoo_file.service"
replace your odoo service file instead of  "your_odoo_file.service"


Hope it helps

Hi,
Did you added the custom addons path in the configuration file ? If not, add the addons path and ensure to restart the odoo service.

* Make sure custom addons path is added in conf
* Ensure odoo service is restarted
* ensure odoo running user has access to the custom directory
* update app list and remove the apps filter and search for module

Thanks

Did you try updating the App list first ?

 This menu is available after you turn on the debug mode.
