How to Install OpenHAB2

1.Update your Raspberry Pi first

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

2.Install MQTT ( mosquitto ) on Raspberry Pi

First get the repository package signing key, import it into apt, and remove the key file after adding,

sudo wget http://repo.mosquitto.org/debian/mosquitto-repo.gpg.key

sudo apt-key add mosquitto-repo.gpg.key

sudo rm mosquitto-repo.gpg.key

Then make the mosquitto repository available to apt:

cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

sudo wget http://repo.mosquitto.org/debian/mosquitto-jessie.list

sudo apt-get update

Now we can install the core packages (server & clients):

sudo apt-get install mosquitto mosquitto-clients

3.Package Repository Installation

Now is Beta Release

Add the openHAB 2 Beta repository to your systems apt sources list (will overwrite your existing openhab2.list):

echo 'deb http://dl.bintray.com/openhab/apt-repo2 testing main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openhab2.list

Additionally, you need to add the openHAB 2 Bintray repository key to your package manager:

wget -qO - 'https://bintray.com/user/downloadSubjectPublicKey?username=openhab' | sudo apt-key add -

sudo apt-get update

4.Install add-ons

The offline distribution is full blown and comes with all add-ons

sudo apt-get install openhab2-offline

158 MB. take a time. Relax !

It take 1h 5min 2s ( Thailand only )

5.Start System Service

Start openHAB and register it to be automatically executed at system startup.

sudo systemctl start openhab2.service

sudo systemctl status openhab2.service

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

sudo systemctl enable openhab2.service

Open Web browser goto http://your raspberry pi ip address:8080

Now Install already. 

Then your must config some file for set your smart home automation system.
