[macOS](http://www.apple.com/macos/) is available by default on Apple computer. If you run a different operating system, please refer to the other section of the documentation.
|
|
|
|
To run Home Assistant on macOS, you need to install Python first. Download Python 3.6 or later (at this time, we recommend Python 3.7) from [https://www.python.org/downloads/mac-osx/](https://www.python.org/downloads/mac-osx/) and follow the instructions of the installer.
|
|
|
|
Open a terminal and install Home Assistant in a virtual environment:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ python3 -m venv homeassistant
|
|
$ source homeassistant/bin/activate
|
|
$ pip3 install homeassistant
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can then configure Home Assistant to autostart by following [this guide](/docs/autostart/macos/).
