sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install openhab2

That page is for both OH 2 & 3. There is an error there though.

I got an error that the repo was not signed correctly as well as Unknown date format Bad header data when I last installed a few days ago.
To fix I did this then it installed just fine using the repo:
echo "deb [trusted=yes] https://openhab.jfrog.io/openhab/openhab-linuxpkg unstable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openhab2.list

Just wanted to say that after the latest upgrade to Build #2004 the sitemaps started to work again!
I got the same error. No solutions yet, but because unstable works, it seems some issue with the repository itself…
For the unsigned repo, run:
wget -qO - ‘https://bintray.com/user/downloadSubjectPublicKey?username=openhab’ | sudo apt-key add -
Been testing OH 3, and things are working pretty well so far. Are there any options for using a binding that seems to be unavailable in OH3, specifically the MiOS binding I’m using to control a few devices connected to a Vera home controller (https://www.openhab.org/addons/bindings/mios1/). Is there any way to work around to get this binding to work? Thanks for the help!!!
@Jeff_Smeker there are some workarounds for a MiOS binding here: Mios binding EOL. Might or might not be useful to you.

no luck 
There is the remoteopenhab binding that permits connecting an OH2 instance to OH3. OH2 Items show up as channels of the OH2 Bridge Thing.
Hello,
I did the above procedure to switch to openHAB3 but I’m running into a problem here:
System Information:
Release = Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)
Kernel = Linux 5.4.72-v7+
Platform = Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2
First I reinstalled OPENHAB 2.5.10 and then wanted to upgrade to OPENHAB 3 with the following recommended procedure:
- I wrote the current version “openHABian 1.6” as an image on the SD card. > ok
- Insert the SD card into Raspberry Pi, connect Ethernet and power on. > ok
- Installation of the openHAB 2.5.10 was successful. > ok
- According to the note above “disable ZRAM first” with openhabian-config > ok
- Zulu’s Open JDK 11 installed, with openhabian-config > ok
So far so good.
Decision for “fresh installation” with the following commands:
-
sudo apt purge openhab2
-
sudo apt update
Now the Problem!
-
sudo apt install openhab

Where is the problem?
Possibly, problems accessing the repository?
There is currently no release version of OH3. You need to change the repo to get either the Milestone of Snapshot version, whichever you wish to test,
For snapshots, this repository is
deb JFrog unstable main
For milestones, this repository isdeb JFrog testing main
Hello Bruce,
Thank you for your help.
I already knew that openHAB 3 did not yet exist in a release version.
But I wasn’t sure whether openHAB 3 runs with openHABian 1.6 and which adjustments and installation steps are necessary in detail to get openHAB 3.x to work.
Now I was able to successfully install openHAB 3 (Milestone 3.0.0.M2) with the information from this topic. It was difficult to fish the relevant information from the various comments, but in the end I was successful.
Many thanks to all of you who make the effort here in the forum to somehow bring the topic across.
What I have seen so far is a fantastic work and further development of openHAB by the developers.
Many thanks to all contributing developers and openHAB experts.
Here in detail the installation steps that I have carried out to get a new installation of openHAB 3 up and running, it is important to note points 4 & 5:
- I wrote the current version “openHABian 1.6” as an image on the SD card.
- Insert the SD card into Raspberry Pi, connect Ethernet and power on.
- Installation of the openHAB 2.5.10 was successful.
Decision for Fresh Installation (delete openHAB 2.5.10) and Milestone version - According to the notes in forum “disable ZRAM first” with openhabian-config
- Zulu’s Open JDK 11 installed, with openhabian-config
- sudo apt purge openhab2
- wget -qO - ‘https://bintray.com/user/downloadSubjectPublicKey?username=openhab’ | sudo apt-key add -
- sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
- echo ‘deb https://openhab.jfrog.io/openhab/openhab-linuxpkg testing main’ | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openhab.list
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get install openhab
- sudo apt-get install openhab-addons
- sudo systemctl start openhab.service
- sudo systemctl status openhab.service
- sudo systemctl daemon-reload
- sudo systemctl enable openhab.service
Thx

Sorry might not be the right place, but i’have been looking for 45min now.
How can i change the “8080” port on my rpi setup?
I’m trying to run a testsetup with OH3 next to my OH2.5 running setup.
tried:
Stop openhab
Edit the file:
/etc/default/openhab2
Uncomment the line:
#OPENHAB_HTTP_PORT=8080
And change the port number
Restart openHAB
But i can’t find this folders!

How did you install openhab? The file location varies depensing on how you installed. For OH3 I think it should be /etc/openhab anyway. The version number has been dropped. ( I am running on Docker which is “different”.

I installed the latest 2.5 and upgraded to 3.0
What is the filename to be edited?
I have this folder:

What does
dpkg -l | grep openhab
show ? It should not show openhab2, openhab2-addons.
The file that you are looking for is /etc/default/openhab.
In case you only find /etc/default/openhab2 it looks like you are still on version 2.
I saw a message in this forum where a user did not used the correct repository andthus installed openhab2 again after deinstalling it because the repo that he used was not containing OH3.
Assumed you use apt to install OH3: check content of /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ that it contains a repo configuration like described in the first post in this thread.
