From 3f380a591bb82f99552622a7687277782da02924 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Shokouhi Date: Fri, 2 Mar 2018 09:26:05 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Add missing step for Wheels package and note for advanced guide The basic venv install guide mentions this step so we should make sure the advanced guide has the same step in the same location. The note about the advanced guide is there to reassure the user they are on the correct page even though the raspberry pi is heavily mentioned here. --- source/_docs/installation/raspberry-pi.markdown | 12 +++++++++++- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/source/_docs/installation/raspberry-pi.markdown b/source/_docs/installation/raspberry-pi.markdown index 178ad0abdf4..d9a0aa4a649 100644 --- a/source/_docs/installation/raspberry-pi.markdown +++ b/source/_docs/installation/raspberry-pi.markdown @@ -12,6 +12,10 @@ redirect_from: /getting-started/installation-raspberry-pi/ This installation of Home Assistant requires the Raspberry Pi to run [Raspbian Lite](https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/).
