I’ve got installed OpenHAB 3.1 from the tarball on an Ubuntu Linux system under user openhab3 in /home/openhab3
So far everything is running smooth and I noticed that there’s newer OpenHAB versions available. Since I wanted to upgrade OpenHAB now to the latest version, my question is whether there’s anything special to take care of, or whether I can just unpack the latest tarball over the current installation?
As a small feature request, it would perhaps be a nice thing, if OpenHAB could update itself automatically.
Why using the tarball when a Debian package repository via apt is available?
Using the repository would resolve your question about updating in a simplier way.
For communication sanity, please stay with the original topic.
If you’re new to the game (as tells your profile) you should be using openHABian on a Raspi or at least on Debian (not Ubuntu).
It’s menu guided. For 3.4 you will need to switch to milestones rather than release (latest is 3.3).
