<h2>Advanced installation methods</h2>
<p>
Home Assistant offers four different installation methods. We recommend
using Home Assistant Operating System. Other methods are available for
experienced users for their specific needs, for example, running Home
Assistant in a virtualized environment (e.g. Proxmox), or on top of an
existing operating system (e.g. Windows, macOS, Linux):
Home Assistant offers two different installation methods:
</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Home Assistant Operating System</b>: An embedded,
minimalistic operating system designed to run the Home Assistant ecosystem
on single board computers (like the Home Assistant Green or a Raspberry Pi) or Virtual Machines. It
is the most convenient option in terms of installation and maintenance and it supports
{% term "add-ons" %}. Home Assistant Operating System is
the recommended installation method for most users.</li>
<li>
<b>Home Assistant Container:</b> Standalone container-based installation
of Home Assistant Core (e.g. Docker).
</li>
<li>
<b>Home Assistant Supervised:</b> Manual installation of the Supervisor.
</li>
<li>
<b>Home Assistant Core:</b> Manual installation using Python virtual
environment.
<b>Home Assistant Container:</b>Container-based installation of Home Assistant. You need to bring your own system (such as Linux) with container orchestration (like Docker), and manually handle updates. Home Assistant Container installations don’t have access to {% term "add-ons" %}.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Note that while these installation methods may provide some
features for advanced users, they may also have some major limitations.
For example, add-ons and other important Home Assistant features may not be available.
