I am trying to install module from odoo 8 to odoo 9.

I just copied over the whole folder to the addons folder in odoo 9 and was expecting that I can somehow install the module in odoo 9 but it doesn't show up in the list of apps to install. Is there anything changed in the structure of odoo that I have to prepare the module to show up in the apps list?

Thanks in advance.

Just wanted to add my 2 cents.

I'm new to Odoo and it's interface is not familiar to me so I had trouble locating my module even after I entered 'Developer mode' and clicked 'Update apps list'.

In 'Apps' menu - under the search field there is 'Filters' button, and to show custom modules 'Extra' option must be selected.

You can also delete all the filters directly from the search bar and just type the name of your new module there.
