Installing and running Home Assistant on your local machine is easy. The only requirement is that you have [Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/) installed. For Windows we require at least Python 3.5 and for other operating systems at least Python 3.4.2.
|
|
|
|
Once installed, execute the following code in a console:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ pip3 install homeassistant
|
|
$ hass --open-ui
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Running these commands will:
|
|
|
|
- Install Home Assistant
|
|
- Launch Home Assistant and serve the web interface on [http://localhost:8123](http://localhost:8123)
|
|
|
|
If you're running a Linux-based platform, we suggest you follow the [VirtualEnv Linux instructions][virtualenv] to avoid using root.
