Problems during installation of OH2 on Rpi

I followed the installationguide on Installation on a Raspberry Pi

I did the following steps and run into an failed message.

Can I go on with that “failed” message?

In my history file you can see what I did overall since I installed the raspian

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ history
    1  sudo raspi-config
    2  sudo apt-get update
    3  sudo apt-get upgrade
    4  sudo apt-get clean
    5  java -version
    6  sudo reboot
    7  logout
    8  cd /etc/default
    9  ls
   10  sudo nano tmpfs
   11  sudo reboot
   12  wget -qO - 'https://bintray.com/user/downloadSubjectPublicKey?username=openhab' | sudo apt-key add -
   13  echo 'deb http://dl.bintray.com/openhab/apt-repo2 stable main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openhab.list
   14  sudo apt-get update
   15  history

In addition to the tut I installed the german locale (Utf8) and I set the timezone to Berlin.
Last I set the tmpfs

# mount /tmp as a tmpfs.  Defaults to no; set to yes to enable (/tmp
# will be part of the root filesystem if disabled).  /tmp may also be
# configured to be a separate mount in /etc/fstab.
RAMTMP=yes

Hey Gerstl,
you’ll need to use the testing branch for now. Stable is currently not available. Try the following commands:

echo 'deb http://dl.bintray.com/openhab/apt-repo2 testing main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openhab.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-cache show openhab2-offline
sudo apt-get install openhab2-offline

Thank you,

that was the problem.

But I installed the online version of oh2.

Nice to hear. Please mark the thread as solved :wink:

Everyone, I’m going to close this thread. All details on openHAB 2 installation in general and through apt can be found in these up-to-date articles:

Please open a new thread if you have installation difficulties or if you found an error in the articles.
