Error installing Gdata on Ubuntu for Odoo 8 (404 Not Found)

I'm trying to install Odoo 8 on Ubuntu 16.04 but i also seem to need to download and install Gdata module for that, according to a toturial found in this website: https://www.getopenerp.com/easy-odoo8-installation/

While typing this command line:

sudo wget http://gdata-python-client.googlecode.com/files/gdata-2.0.17.tar.gz

I keep getting this error message :

Does anyone have any clue on how to fix this?

Solution

This tutorial and Odoo8 both are obsolete. Current version is Odoo 12. Gdata url you are trying to access, no longer exists. However you can install gdata with Python pip.

    `pip install gdata` // requires Python 2.5+

Or to upgrade, use:

    `pip install -U gdata`

You need to skip rest of the instructions in STEP 8 of tutorial.
