Sory, maybe a stupid question, but where do i see what version of OH im using, im on ubuntu machine…

Also, how to update to latest ?

Thnx !

In a browser, and assuming it’s running on the same machine, go to localhost:8080. Your version will show along the bottom of the screen.

To update depends on how you installed it - how did you install openHAB?

Hi

If you want to know the exact version, one method is to log into the openHAB2 console, as the version is shown in the welcome message.

I believe the very latest version is

2.5.7-1

Another trick that I’ve just learnt is this

Try

apt-cache policy openhab2 { or any other package }

Which will show you something like

Ok, managed to upgrade it via:

sudo apt-get upgrade openhab2

From what version? Upgrades from versions prior to 2.5 will require other changes.

I think you meant to link to the 2.5 Release Notes. You linked to 2.4.

That is the only way that we were told would work for 2.5.1. The Web UI still said 2.5.0.
