How to install Openhab 2.3.0 with Chocolatey on Windows 10?

Andie · June 8, 2018, 3:36pm

When I try to install OpenHAB with Chocolatey on Windows according the steps on https://www.openhab.org/download/ it installs the OpenHAB Version 2.2.0

How can I install the Version 2.3.0 or upgrade to it?

If I run: choco install openhab
I get the following message:

Thank you for helping!

I didn’t know OH was available on Chocolatey. Whoever maintains the Chocolatey package for OH needs to submit the updated version of OH to them.

I have no idea how this process works and as far as I can tell this is not maintained in any of the official OH repos.

@bcurran3, it looks like you are listed as the package maintainer on Chocolatey (thank you for using the same name in both places). Is updating to 2.3 in progress? Need help? If you want help, how can we help?

ysc · June 8, 2018, 8:07pm

Right, I opened https://github.com/openhab/openhab-docs/issues/447 a while ago because I agree it’s a great way of having Chocolatey installed easily on Windows, that’s why I added it as an installation option on the website. For 2.2 the package was available just a few days after the official release, not this time but I hope it will be updated soon

Maybe it’s best to ping @bcurran3 on GitHub.

bcurran3 · June 8, 2018, 9:10pm

I just need to be notified of new releases.

2.3 has been pushed to Chocolatey.
https://chocolatey.org/packages/openhab/2.3.0

ysc · June 8, 2018, 9:40pm

That was quick

FTR, unless I’m mistaken the command to install 2.3.0 until the package is approved is
choco install openhab --version=2.3.0
Will give it a try tomorrow.

bcurran3 · June 9, 2018, 1:07am

Updating a package only takes a few minutes. Easy peasy.

I had the wrong checksum on the KAR file. 2.3.0 and just fixed it. Will most likely be live in an hour or two.

Andie · June 9, 2018, 8:17pm

Thank you!
The installation works like a charm!

UglyKidJoe · September 25, 2018, 8:47am

Hello all,

I did a fresh Chocolatey install on Windows 10 from CMD, and when I run OH2 about 80% of the bindings are installed on the first run. It will take ages to uninstall them.

All of the ‘Actions’ are installed as well as all of the ‘Transformation’ but none of the ‘Persistence’

Any idea how that’s happened?

I’ve done dozens of install in my Raspberry Pi and never seen such behaviour.

Update: I’ve left OH2 running for about 2 hours, and now just about everything has been installed: bindings (all of them), transformations, actions, persistence etc…

rlkoshak · September 25, 2018, 4:49pm

What package did you choose when first going to the OH dashboard?

UglyKidJoe · September 25, 2018, 7:00pm

Hi Rich,

It was the standard package

rlkoshak · September 25, 2018, 7:28pm

Not sure why it would install everything then. The transforms should have all been installed but not every single binding.

Nurplit · October 7, 2018, 12:36am

Hello everyone,
Just an FYI

I was going to move openHab from a Raspberry PI to a Windows 7 machine but I am expiring the exact same thing as UglyKidJoe with the Chocolatey install. Also, no front tail option is available from the :8080/start/index

I will hold off till things get sorted out.
Thanks…

From the standard install option:

I think that there is an issue with the Choco installation method.
Try to deploy OH2 manually on Windows and it will work.
Also: front tail is a Linux specific tool, so it won’t appear on a Win deployment of OH2 (if I am not completely wrong )

Joost_Westra · October 30, 2018, 1:22pm

This is still the case with the WIndows installation. Somehow OpenHab always makes it especially for new users it seams (I am not a new user, just wanted to start from scratch on a new pc.) I even causes execution errors because of incompatible bindings are installed by default.

Dim · October 30, 2018, 1:26pm

don’t use Choco until the packaged installation is fixed (currently ALL addons are being deployed)

use the manual way on Windows

Joost_Westra · October 31, 2018, 3:15pm

That indeed solves the problem. But this is a really bad experience for possible new users. I personally can nat really recommend OpenHab to friends because of issues like this.

Dim · November 10, 2018, 4:20am

Dim · November 18, 2018, 12:27am

You can now recommend again OH2 to your friends

Unsure about installation procedures for Windows - #43 by Dim

Joost_Westra · November 19, 2018, 9:53am

Thanks! The chocolatey install method is actually a very good step in first user experience for new people. Makes it’s easier to experience the system with their Windows machine to try things out.

Dim · November 19, 2018, 9:54am

On top of the choco installation method, there is also a Windows Installer being prepared

See here: https://github.com/openhab/openhab-distro/issues/807
