The Kitchen Screen, was the first application to be released under the Chromis banner, in July 2015.
The application has been written to work on Windows, Linux and a Raspberry Pi 2. Yes, to help keep the costs of implementing the project down, a version of applications has been developed to run a the Raspberry Pi 2. It has also been decided not to release a version of the application dedicated to the Apple, as it is felt the cost of the hardware would too high for it use in a kitchen type environment.

Hi.
I try to install kitchenscreen but the installation program says it can’t find any java on my machine, despite I’ve java openJDK 1.8.0_72 installed on it.
What happen ?
Hi
The install does not detect the openJDK software, as it stand the software has only been tested with the Oracle Java release.
I follow the readme instructions, and I receive the following error message.
