The image provided on jasper documentation for Rpi 2 is not working,
I correctly burnt that image using Win32Diskimager but it doesn't boot and don't show anything on my display.Please help me out how to install the image on rpi2 or is there any other image as the manual installation is just a pain the ass and i have already tried that and didn't got it to work correctly!
So please help fast!

Sorry, I can't help you ... I did not have that problem. FWIW, I have a rPi 2 Model B

This is what worked for me:

Grabbed a copy of "Raspbian Jessie Lite" from:

https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/

Installed it on a Micro-SD card as per the instructions:

https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/README.md

Booted the image on a Raspberry Pi 2 model B, logged in, did

sudo su
raspi-config

in "raspi-config" I expanded the file system to take up the entire card, configured time zone, keyboard, etc.. Then I rebooted the Raspberry Pi 2 model B, did

sudo su
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

Next I grabbed and ran the "jasper-installer.sh" script referred to here :

 https://github.com/unixabg/raspi-helpers

This script does take several hours to run, but handles the downloading / installing of Jasper + all dependencies. Once the above is done you will need to create/tweak the ~/.jasper/profile.yml the details of which are described here:

http://jasperproject.github.io/documentation/configuration/

Then you can just run Jasper.

Hope the above helps.
