Option 1: Use Raspberry Pi imager

    Get Raspberry Pi imager
  1. Select your openHABian image under Other specific-purpose OS - Home assistants and home automation.
  2. Insert the SD card in your device, connect the Ethernet cable and turn it on.
  3. If you want to use Wi-Fi, openHABian will launch a hotspot.
  4. Please read the docs while your box is installing openHABian.
  5. Navigate with a web browser to http://openhabian:8080
  6. Continue by following the tutorial to get started

Option 2: Install the APT Packages

TIP

On Debian systems you can also opt to add our openHABian turn-key solution on top of your existing operating system, follow these instructions instead to check whether your system is eligible and install it.

For Raspberry Pi, however, we strongly recommend flashing the complete OS image, see above.

  1. Install a recent Java 17 platform (we recommend the Zulu builds of OpenJDK)
  2. Add the repository key
    3. curl -fsSL "https://openhab.jfrog.io/artifactory/api/gpg/key/public" | gpg --dearmor > openhab.gpg
sudo mkdir /usr/share/keyrings
sudo mv openhab.gpg /usr/share/keyrings
sudo chmod u=rw,g=r,o=r /usr/share/keyrings/openhab.gpg
  3. Add the HTTPS transport for APT
    4. sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
  4. Add the repository
    5. echo 'deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/openhab.gpg] https://openhab.jfrog.io/artifactory/openhab-linuxpkg stable main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openhab.list
  5. Update the package lists and install the openHAB distribution package
    6. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install openhab
  6. (Optional) Install the add-ons for offline use
    7. 🛈 You don't need the add-ons package if your machine has Internet access, openHAB will download add-ons online as necessary.
