Hass.io images are available for all available Raspberry Pi and Intel NUC platforms.

- Download the appropriate image for your Raspberry Pi / Intel NUC:
  - [Raspberry Pi / Zero][pi1]
  - [Raspberry Pi 2][pi2]
  - [Raspberry Pi 3][pi3]
  - [Intel NUC][nuc]
- Flash the downloaded image to an SD card using [Etcher].
- Optional - Setup the WiFi or static IP: On the SD-card, edit the `system-connections/resin-sample` file and follow the [ResinOS howto][resinos-network].
- Insert SD card to 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.

<p class='note'>
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.
