You will need to set up a development environment if you want to start developing a new feature or component for Home Assistant. Please follow these steps to get setup.
Visit the [the Home Assistant repository](https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant) first and click fork in the top right.
You'll need to set up a development environment if you want to develop a new feature or component for Home Assistant. Read on to learn how to set up.
We suggest that you setup a virtual environment using [`venv`](https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/venv.html) before running the setup script.
1. Visit the [the Home Assistant repository](https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant) and click "fork."
```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/YOUR_GIT_USERNAME/home-assistant.git
$ cd home-assistant
$ git remote add upstream https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant.git
$ script/setup
```
On Windows you can use `python setup.py develop` instead of the setup script.
* Consider setting up a virtual environment using [`venv`](https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/venv.html) before running the setup script.
After following these steps, running `hass` will invoke your local installation.
```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/YOUR_GIT_USERNAME/home-assistant.git
$ cd home-assistant
$ git remote add upstream https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant.git
$ script/setup
```
* On Windows, you can use `python setup.py develop` instead of the setup script.
2. Run `hass` to invoke your local installation.
### Developing on Windows
If you are using Windows as a development platform ensure you have the correct Microsoft Visual C++ build tools installed. Please check [the Windows Compilers](https://wiki.python.org/moin/WindowsCompilers) section on the [Python website](https://www.python.org/) for details. Validation using `tox` will fail if this is not done correctly.
