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-runtime-<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.
3. Copy the bindings you have downloaded *.jar to the "addons" directory.
4. Create a personal configuration file configurations/openhab.cfg and add the appropriate configuration parameters from configurations/openhab_default.cfg (depending on the bindings you've copied).

OPTIONAL: Installing the openHAB designer

The openHAB designer comes as a platform-dependent zip, so choose the right type for your platform. To install it, follow these simple steps:

1. Unzip the openhab-designer-<platform>-<version>.zip to some directory, e.g. C:\openhab-designer.
2. Launch it by the executable openHAB-Designer.exe
3. Select the "configurations" folder of your runtime installation in the folder dialog that is shown when selecting the "open folder" toolbar icon.
