This tutorial is targeting beginners like me to get a step by step guideline to get all the things installed. Since I am no coding expert and have no experience in Raspberry and Raspbian I am trying to go through the things step by step, so you should be able to get everything done, even without exactly having to go into all the details. That is one of the reasons I am also using the graphical GUI PIXEL for Raspbian since I thing it makes it easier for the beginners to get started (and you might want to use PIXEL anyway when you are using the Raspberry 7” display as interface for your home automation controller)

This tutorial is also based on **having a Windows PC** to support the setup process. You might be able to completely do it without the support of an extra PC, if you can get a MicroSD card with a pre-installed Raspbian OS and use the display options (the Raspberry 7” display or HDMI Display) for the Raspberry.

This tutorial might contain some typos, errors or ways of setting up, which can be done in a better way. I am just reflecting my process of starting from scratch and slowly working my way through hundreds of online tutorials, manuals, forum threads etc. and on the way, highlighting the issues I had in getting things working. There will be no guarantee that the given instructions are working for your project as well.** *

You just have to be aware, that a lot of online documentation is still for the openHAB version and will not be applicable for openHAB2!

So the best thing is always to go to the official webpage of openHAB2 and start from there, and only if you really can’t find the information or the link there, go to google and search for other solutions. I was always using the search setting (last year) so it was more likely to the results considering openHAB2 and not openHAB.
