```bash pip3 install homeassistant hass \-\-open-ui ```
Running these commands will:
- Install Home Assistant
- Launch Home Assistant and serve web interface on http://localhost:8123
Installation with Docker is straightforward. Adjust the following command so that /path/to/your/config/
points at the folder where you want to store your config and run it:
docker run -d \-\-name="home-assistant" -v /path/to/your/config:/config -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \-\-net=host balloob/home-assistant
This will launch Home Assistant and serve its web interface from port 8123 on your Docker host.
When using boot2docker on OS X you are unable to map the local time to your Docker container. Replace
-v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro with -e "TZ=America/Los_Angeles"
(replacing America/Los_Angeles with your timezone)

Execute the following code in a console:
pip3 install homeassistant
hass \-\-open-ui

- Install Home Assistant
