Installation - vpjuslin/openhab GitHub Wiki
The openHAB runtime comes as a platform-independent zip file. To install and configure it, follow these simple steps:
- Unzip the
openhab-runtime-<version>.zip
to some directory, e.g.C:\openhab
resp./opt/openhab
. - Create a personal configuration file by copying the file
configurations/openhab_default.cfg
toconfigurations/openhab.cfg
. - Edit the
openhab.cfg
file according to your personal needs. - Launch the runtime by executing the script
start.bat
resp.start.sh
In the download sections, you will find a couple of jar-files, which are optional bundles that can be used with the openHAB runtime. Some of them have to be distributed separately due to license restrictions (e.g. the KNX binding bundle), some are only relevant for a small group of users (e.g. the Dropbox IO bundle).
To add those bundles to your runtime installation, simply copy them into the addons
folder.
The openHAB designer comes as a platform-dependent zip, so choose the right one for your platform. To install it, follow these simple steps:
- Unzip the
openhab-designer-<platform>-<version>.zip
to some directory, e.g.C:\openhab-designer
resp./opt/openhab-designer
- Launch it by the executable
openhab-designer.exe
- Select the "configurations" folder of your runtime installation in the folder dialog that is shown when selecting the "open folder" toolbar icon.
