### {% linkable_title Installation instruction for the All-In-One installer and HASSbian %}
#### Customizing the Sense HAT data
Here are the steps to make the Sense HAT sensor work with a virtual environment.
Install SenseHAT package. Switch to the `homeassistant_venv` directory and activate the virtual environment.
```bash
$ sudo su -s /bin/bash homeassistant
$ source /srv/homeassistant/homeassistant_venv/bin/activate
```
Install the `sense-hat` module.
```bash
$ pip3 install sense-hat
```
Please be patient, this will take a long while...
Type `exit` to quit out of the _homeassistant_venv_ back to your `pi` environment. As all of the following steps should be under the `pi` user environment.
Install the [RTIMU](https://github.com/RPi-Distro/RTIMULib) Python module:
```bash
$ pip3 install rtimulib
```
Add symlink to RTIMU in `homeassistant_venv` directory. Create a symlink using the following command:
```bash
$ ln -s /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/RTIMU.cpython-34m-arm-linux-gnueabihf.so /srv/homeassistant/homeassistant_venv/lib/python3.4/
```
Add `homeassistant` user to the `input` and the `i2c` groups.
```bash
$ sudo addgroup homeassistant input
$ sudo addgroup homeassistant i2c
```
Reboot Raspberry Pi to apply changes.
```bash
$ sudo reboot
```

### Directions for installing on Raspberry Pi All-In-One installer and HASSbian:
Here are the steps to make the _SenseHAT_ sensor work _successfully_ with the virtual enviroment versions.
#### Install SenseHAT package to _homeassistant_venv_
```bash
# switch to the homeassistant_venv environment
sudo su -s /bin/bash homeassistant
source /srv/homeassistant/homeassistant_venv/bin/activate
# install the sense-hat lib
pip3 install sense-hat
# be patient, this will take a long while
```
#### Return to `pi`
Type `exit` to quit out of the _homeassistant_venv_ back to your `pi` environment.
As all of the following steps should be under the `pi` user environment.
###### Install _RTIMU_
```bash
# Install RTIMU to pi user environment
pip3 install rtimulib
# Add symlink to RTIMU in _homeassistant_venv_
# Create a symlink using the following command:
ln -s /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/RTIMU.cpython-34m-arm-linux-gnueabihf.so /srv/homeassistant/homeassistant_venv/lib/python3.4/
# Add _homeassistant_ user to the _input_ and the _i2c_ groups
sudo addgroup homeassistant input
sudo addgroup homeassistant i2c
# Reboot Raspberry Pi to apply changes
sudo reboot
```
Unfortunately enabling the SenseHAT Sensor component for a Virtual Environment install of Home-Assistant fails with errors.
_(The Raspberry Pi All-In-One installer and HASSbian both run Home-Assistant in an virtual environment)._
These issues have been discussed in the repository issue (#5093)[https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/5093)
This fix has been tested with a clean install of:
* [Raspbian Jessie - version January 2017](https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/images/raspbian-2017-01-10/)
and
* [Home-Assistant 0.37.1](https://home-assistant.io/getting-started/installation-raspberry-pi-all-in-one/)
