Note: OpenERP is now called Odoo.

1. Make sure you have brew installed.
2. brew install postgresql
3. postgres -D /usr/local/var/postgres or launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist
4. createdb odootest (not really needed if you use sample data)
5. git clone https://github.com/odoo/odoo.git , the repo is 500MB big so this takes a while
6. cd odoo
7. git checkout origin/7.0 switch to 7.0 branch (this should be a better command because it leaves me in detached head, please edit)
8. sudo python setup.py install , this will also install many dependencies with easy_install , ignore all the warnings
9. python openerp-server -s to start with sample data generated by odoo. If you

I also had to sudo easy_install pyPdf but I'm not sure if that's because I first tried the master branch. If you experience errors for missing libraries simply easy_install them.
