To run Home Assistant on Microsoft Windows installation you need to install Python first. Download Python (the latest version of Python 3.6 is recommended) for [https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/](https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/) and follow the instructions of the installer.
|
|
|
|
<div class='note'>

|
There may be alpha or beta releases of Python listed on that download page (marked by the letters `a` or `b` in the version number. Do not use these versions.

|
If you use your machine for something other than Home Assistant, you should install it in a [Python virtual environment](#installing-in-a-python-virtual-environment).
|
|
|
|
Start
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
C:\...\> pip3 install homeassistant
|
|
C:\...\> py -m homeassistant --open-ui
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For autostarting Home Assistant please refer to this [guide](https://community.home-assistant.io/t/autostart-on-windows/3504).
|
|
|
|

The Microsoft Windows platform is not a primary target to install Home Assistant. Also, not all tools and third-party modules will work.
