Setup, Configuration and Use Installation

I have been following the tutorial http://docs.openhab.org/installation/linux.html#installation

however I cannot get HH2 to start

When I do
sudo systemctl status openhab2.service
I get the following

sudo systemctl status openhab2.service
ā— openhab2.service - openHAB 2 - empowering the smart home

This is usually related to Java not being found.

What is the error message inside:

sudo journalctl -u openhab2 -b
