Installation on Windows

Installing the openHAB runtime

The openHAB runtime comes as a platform-independent zip file. To install it, follow these simple steps:

1. You will need to install Java if not already installed. Go to http://java.com/ to get it.
2. Unzip the openhab-offline-<version>.zip to where it is intended to be running from, e.g. C:\openhab. Note that there can't be a space in the path, so it can't be in program files in windows.

Start the server!

1. Launch the runtime by executing the script start.bat

Go test it!

openHAB comes with a built-in user interface. Point your browser to http://localhost:8080 and you should be looking at the openHAB startpage.
