Installation on Mac OS X

Warnings

In this chapter:

  • We have chosen to download the latest night build, as openHAB 2 is in a beta phase,
  • We have decided to use the online version of openHAB.

Installing openHAB

To do this :

  • Go to the following site (it contains the latest version) : https://openhab.ci.cloudbees.com/job/openHAB-Distribution.
  • Click on the link: openhab-online-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.zip, to download it in your "download" folder.
  • Open the terminal window.
  • Choose a folder name to host your install. The directory will be created in your home folder. Be aware that the path to this folder, and the name of the folder itself, must not contain any space character in order to prevent this classical cause of crash. The name chosen here is openHAB.
  • Use the ls command in order to check that your directory does not exists yet.
cal:~ callas$ ls
Desktop			Movies
Documents		Music
Downloads		Pictures
Library			Public
  • Move the downloaded file. Assuming that you have downloaded the file in your download folder, the command will be:
cal:~ admin$ mv Downloads/openhab-online-2 openhab
  • Use the "ls" command in order to check that your directory exists now.
cal:~ callas$ ls
Desktop			Movies	Public
Documents		Music
Downloads		openhab
Library			Pictures
  • Move inside the openhab folder using the "cd" command.
cal:~ callas$ cd openhab/
  • Use the "ls" command in order to check what is inside.
cal:openhab admin$ ls
LICENSE.TXT	conf		start.bat	start_debug.bat	userdata

Launching openHAB for the first time

We are going to launch openHAB for the first time, in order to check that our install is successful.

  • In the terminal window, type ./start.sh

  • Without closing the terminal, open your favorite web browser and type the following url : http://localhost:8080, you should see the openHab welcome screen.

Which browser should I use?

Safari is supported by openHAB, but the fact is the browser used by the openHAB developer community - and by the owner of the ZWave plugin - is Google Chrome. We recommend then Google Chrome, as openHAB 2 is in a beta phase.
