Adding a New Module to the Addons Path

1. Place the module in /home/dan/SR-Odoo/ (it's already in the addons path)
2. Restart Odoo: sudo systemctl restart odoo17
3. In Odoo: Apps > Update Apps List > search and install

If the module is in a subdirectory (like oca_telephony/base_phone), add the parent directory to addons_path in /etc/odoo17.conf.
