Install OpenRemote 1.0 Controller
We currently test OpenRemote distributions with Microsoft Windows XP, Mac OS X Snow Leopard and Debian-based Linux distributions. For additional instructions for other operating system variants, please use the OpenRemote User Forums for community support.
Windows XP
Before using iPhone, iPod Touch or Android panel with OpenRemote ™, you need to install a controller. You can install a controller on your existing computer hardware, or purchase a dedicated, pre-installed controller unit from us.
1. Install Java
You may already have Java installed on your system. Make sure it is version 6 or higher. If that is the case, you can skip this step of the installation.
Save the binary on your desktop. Double-click on the icon and follow the installation instructions.
2. Set Up Your Environment
From your desktop, open the Start menu and select Control Panel. From Control Panel, double-click the "System" icon. In the System window, click on Advanced tab and then click "Environment Variables". In Environment Variables, in the User Variables section, click New.
Enter "JAVA_HOME" as variable name and path to root of the Java Runtime directory (installed in step 1) as the value.
Click Ok and continue to step 3.
3. Install OpenRemote
Unpack the zip file on your filesystem. Start CMD shell from Start menu by selecting Run and enter 'cmd'. Change to the unpacked OpenRemote bin\ directory and enter 'openremote run' on the command line.
Avoid installing OpenRemote into a directory path name that contains white space in the path name. This is known to cause issues.
Also, if may need to restart your command shell after setting the JAVA_HOME system property for the changes to take effect.
You should see OpenRemote starting up. Validate your installation by typing into your web browser the following address: http://localhost:8080/controller
4. Customize Your iPhone Interface
Create your custom user interface using OpenRemote 1.0 Designer.
Once done, download your configuration on your desktop, and upload it to OpenRemote via the upload page of your controller.
Start your iPhone Console and configure it for your OpenRemote Controller.
