Initial Setup - Configuration

I am following the setup process but don’t understand Step 3 which reads -
Within the new directory, there’ll be a folder called configurations. Within this folder create a copy of the default configuration file openhab_default.cfg and name it openhab.cfg.

How do I create a copy of the default configuration file openhab_default.cfg ?

Your help and guidance appreciated

On Windows:
Highlight the file openhab_default.cfg, CTRL-C, CTRL-V, rename the newly created file to openhab.cfg.

On Linux:
if you did a manual install:
sudo cp /opt/openhab/configurations/openhab_default.cfg /opt/openhab/configurations/openhab.cfg

if you did an apt_get install:
sudo cp /etc/openhab/configurations/openhab_default.cfg /etc/openhab/configurations/openhab.cfg

On Mac: I have no idea :grinning:

Edit: if you have more questions, please tell us your operating system and which tutorial you used to install openhab … there are countless in the web.

With openHAB Designer: right click at the filename, Copy, right click at the filename, Paste, enter the name…

Many thanks for the help!:slight_smile:
