openHAB 2 on Ubuntu

[Dibbler42 (Thomas Bail)]

Hi there,

i deceided to move on to openHAB 2, but this is not an easy task. Maybe out there is some one who cpuld help me a little bit.

1.) I really would like to use the nightly build, and i am perfectly aware that from one moment to the other my system could stop working, but i am really not sure what to download and what is about the deb packages.

2.) I read sometime that i should set the propoer rights for the openhab folders in for example /opt/openhab, but i did not find any hints what are the proper rights are

3.) What about the designer for openHAB 2 i did not find anything, is there something like that?

So any hint would be appreciated. Most wanted is a hint for the initial installation and a method to regular update the nightlies.

Thanks
Thomas

There’s some good info on nightly updates here -:

Whats your way to update OH2 with another nightly build?

Hi xsnrg! So you already have a script that does that for you? And just to know, which steps do you need to perform manually? And, if you don’t mind, could you post your script? Thanks!

but i am really not sure what to download

Either use the offline distro (addons are included) or the online distro (addons are automatically downloaded when you try to install them).

What about the designer for openHAB 2

Use the eclipse smart home designer:
