Getting Started

This guide walks you through installing N2, unlocking access, and building your very first graph. You can be fully up and running in just a few minutes.

Quick Start

Follow these steps to install N2 and prepare your Odoo environment.

  1. Log in to GitHub

    Ensure you’re signed into the GitHub account you want to use with N2.

  2. Star the Repository

    Visit Exploring Odoo at: https://github.com/yonitjio/exploring-odoo

    Click the ⭐ Star button (top-right). N2 uses this star to verify access—downloads remain locked until the repo is starred.

  3. Sign in to N2

    Go to https://nuido2.skysize.io and click “Continue with GitHub”. Once your GitHub account has starred the repo, N2 automatically unlocks full access to the modules.

  4. Download the N2 Modules

    Download both required N2 packages:

    Note

    Both modules are required for N2 to function.

  5. Install the Modules in Odoo

    1. Extract both ZIP files into your Odoo custom addons directory.
    2. Activate Developer Mode in Odoo.
    3. Go to Apps → Update Apps List.
    4. Search for “N2” and install both:
    • N2
    • N2 User Interface
    Tip

    If the N2 modules don’t appear after updating the Apps list, make sure you extracted them to the correct custom addons directory, then restart your Odoo instance.

Once both modules are installed, N2 becomes fully available in your system.

Creating Your First Graph

With N2 installed, you’re ready to build your first graph.

  1. Access the N2 Menu

    A new N2 entry now appears in your Odoo main menu.

  1. Open the Graphs List

    Click N2 to open the list of available graphs. On a fresh installation, this list will be empty.

    Every executable N2 graph must contain exactly one StartNode—it defines where the execution begins.

  4. Save Your Graph

    Click Save button on the toolbar, enter a name (e.g., Hello World), and confirm. Your new graph is now stored in Odoo.

  5. Process & Run

    1. Click Process button to validate and compile the graph.
    2. Click Run button to execute it.

    A graph with only a StartNode will complete instantly—but you’ve now verified that everything is working.

🎉 Congratulations!

You’ve successfully installed N2 and created your very first graph. From here, you can begin adding nodes, building logic, and automating workflows with the N2.

You’re off to a great start—happy building!
