The goal of this getting started guide is to install [Hass.io](/hassio/) on a Raspberry Pi. Hass.io is our own all in one solution that turns your Raspberry Pi or another device into the ultimate home automation hub.
Follow this guide if you want to get started with Home Assistant easily, or if you have no or little Linux experience. For advanced users or if you have no Raspberry Pi at hand, check our [alternative installation methods](/docs/installation/). The [FAQ](/faq/#home-assistant-vs-hassio) explains more about the differences.

When you're done, remember to set up regular backups of your configuration. These backups will protect you from hardware failure and mistakes. On Hass.io you have snapshots, but you can back up to [GitHub](/docs/ecosystem/backup/backup_github/), [DropBox](/docs/ecosystem/backup/backup_dropbox/) and many other ways. All that matters is that you set them up and test them regularly.
