|
|
|
|

|
## Supported images
|
|
|
|
You can [download](https://www.armbian.com/download/?device_support=Supported) and use server, desktop or minimal. If you choose a minimal image, you need to install armbian-config first.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
**First Steps:**
|
|
|
|
1. Prepare Armbian as usual - [login as root / 1234, change root password, create username. You don't need to perform any other steps](https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/).
|
|
|
|
1. Update
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo apt-get update
|
|
sudo apt-get upgrade
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Run armbian-config
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo armbian-config
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Select OpenHAB2 (old version) or OpenHAB3 with **SPACE** and press **ENTER**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wait 5 to 10 minutes depending on your hardware. During this time you can leave armbian-config and check if installation was succesfull by checking what openhab is doing on the system:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo htop -u openhab
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you don't see any openhab activities, something went wrong.
|
|
