Please remember to ensure you're using an [appropriate power supply](https://www.raspberrypi.org/help/faqs/#powerReqs) with your Pi. Mobile chargers may not be suitable since some were only designed to provide just enough power to the device it was designed for by the manufacturer.
- Flash the downloaded image to an SD card using [Etcher][etcher]. We recommend at least a 32 GB SD card to avoid running out of space. - Optional - Setup the WiFi or static IP: On a USB stick, create the `network/my-network` file and follow the [HassOS howto][hassos-network]. - Insert the SD card (and optional USB stick) into the Raspberry Pi and turn it on. On first boot, it downloads the latest version of Home Assistant which takes ~20 minutes (slower/faster depending on the platform).
- You will be able to reach your installation at [http://hassio.local:8123][local].
- Enable either the [Samba add-on][samba] or the [SSH add-on][ssh] to manage your configuration in `/config/` (From the UI choose **Hass.io** which is located in the sidebar).
If your router doesn't support mDNS, then you'll have to use the IP address of your Pi instead of `hassio.local`. For example, `http://192.168.0.9:8123`. You should be able to find the IP address of your Pi from the admin interface of your router.
### {% linkable_title Migrating from a non-Hass.io install %} If you copy over your existing Home Assistant configuration, make sure to enable the Hass.io panel by adding either `discovery:` or `hassio:` to your configuration. ## {% linkable_title Alternative: install on generic Linux server %} For advanced users, it is also possible to try Hass.io on your [Linux server or inside a virtual machine][linux]. This is the list of packages you need to have available on your system that will run Hass.io if you are using Debian/Ubuntu: - apparmor-utils - apt-transport-https - avahi-daemon - ca-certificates - curl - dbus - jq - network-manager - socat - software-properties-common To perform the Hass.io installation, run the following command as root: ```bash $ curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/home-assistant/hassio-build/master/install/hassio_install | bash -s ```When you use this installation method, the core SSH add-on may not function correctly. If that happens, use the community SSH add-on. Some of the documentation might not work for your installation either.
A detailed guide about running Hass.io as a virtual machine is available in the [blog](/blog/2017/11/29/hassio-virtual-machine/).
