How to install a 2.X binding manually? (In this case KNX)

Hi, I was curious if I can try out the KNX 2.X Binding and searched for it. I found this https://github.com/kgoderis/openhab2/tree/knx/addons/binding/org.openhab.binding.knx and this thread on github: https://github.com/openhab/openhab2-addons/pull/21 I understand, that the binding isn’t completely ready yet, but wanted to try it out. I am stuck on how to install the binding the right way: there are .jars availible in the directory, but I am not sure, if they are suitable to install. I tri…

It depends on your install method, apt-get or manually, for folder structure see:

I installed it with apt-get but it seems that I am having issues with folders.
For example I am trying to create rules following this guide:
"Rules are placed in the folder ${openhab.home}/configurations/rules. The runtime already comes with a demo file called demo.rules, which has a couple of examples, which can be a good starting point."
but my path /usr/share/openhab2/configuratuins/ is empty. What I am doing wrong here?
(I managed to install the binding using “openhab console”)

In fact, the path is not correct if installed through apt-get. As this is the “debian” way, you would find all configuration files in /etc/openhab2/, not in ${openhab.home}/configurations/ (and not in ${openhab.home}/conf/, as written in another part of the official openhab2 documentation… well… )
