In this tutorial, you will learn how to install OpenRemote on Manjaro. OpenRemote is an open-source home automation software. It allows you to control your home appliances such as lighting, heating, and more.
Before proceeding with the installation, you need to make sure that the following dependencies are installed on your Manjaro system:
The first step is to download the latest version of OpenRemote from the official website. You can use the following wget command to download the package:
wget https://openremote.io/download/OpenRemote_Installer.zip
Once the download is complete, extract the downloaded package by running the following command:
unzip OpenRemote_Installer.zip
After extracting the package, change the current working directory to the OpenRemote installation directory:
cd OpenRemote_Installer
The next step is to build OpenRemote by running the following command:
mvn clean install -Ppro-db
This will take some time, as it will download all the required dependencies and build the application.
After building OpenRemote, you can start the application by running the following command:
./start.sh
This will start the OpenRemote server in the background.
OpenRemote is now running on your Manjaro system. You can access the web interface by opening a web browser and going to the following address:
http://localhost:8080/controller
You should see the OpenRemote login screen. Use the default credentials (username: admin, password: admin) to log in and start configuring your home automation system.
You have successfully installed and started OpenRemote on your Manjaro system. You can now use OpenRemote to control your home appliances and automation system.
