Just a quickie installation guide to installing OpenHab on the RPi2.   Part #1 is base demo installation and part #2 will be the HAI stuff.
 
This is part 1  - demo installation - assumption is that you have an RPi2 built with base Wheezy and have configured sudo and or root access via SSH.
 
Web page is ===> hxxp://ipofrpi2:8080/openhab.app?sitemap=demo
 
Picture attached is what demo web gui looks like.  Takes about 5 minutes to install and get demo running.
 
Change the xx's in hxxp to tt's.

Used my Cumulus weather station RPi2 to test and have Webmin installed on same.
 
1 - install Java or check if you already have it installed.
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-jdk

2 - Check if you already have it installed:
java -version
 
:~# java -version
java version "1.8.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0-b132)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.0-b70, mixed mode)

 
3 - (sudo) mkdir /opt/openhab  * sudo or root
 
/opt# ls
openhab

 
4 - cd /opt/openhab
 
5 - Download the runtime core package.  I just right clicked to find the link and did a wget.
 
The OpenHab download links are at: hxxp:///getting-started/downloads.html
 
6 - Current link (18th of May, 2016)
 
hxxps://bintray.com/artifact/download/openhab/bin/distribution-1.8.2-runtime.zip
 
7 - wget hxxps://bintray.com/artifact/download/openhab/bin/distribution-1.8.2-runtime.zip
 
8 - unzip distribution*.zip
 
9 - rm distribution *.zip
 
10 - chmod +x start.sh
 
11 - cd addons
 
12 - wget hxxps://bintray.com/artifact/download/openhab/bin/distribution-1.7.1-addons.zip
 
13 - unzip *.addons.zip
 
14 - rm *.addons.zip
 
15 - cd /openhab/configurations
 
16 - cp configurations/openhab_default.cfg configurations/openhab.cfg

17 - cd /openhab

18 - mv addons addons.org

19 - wget hxxps://bintray.com/artifact/download/openhab/bin/distribution-1.8.2-demo.zip

20 - unzip *demo.zip

21 - rm *.demo.zip

22 - start OpenHab ==> ./start.sh

23 - using your browser go to ==> hxxp://ipofrpi2:8080/openhab.app?sitemap=demo

Part 2 will be configuration of the HAI configuration.
 
Some where above it looks like my font changed.  Will document the HAI stuff on the RPi2 but....
 
I am shifting the build over to a RPi3 maybe with RTC clock / LCD monitor.
