Beginners should check our [Getting started guide](/getting-started/) first. This is for users that require advanced installations.
Home Assistant provides multiple ways to be installed. A requirement is that you have Python 3.5.3 or later installed.
Please remember to [secure your installation](/docs/configuration/securing/) once you've finished with the installation process.
(Beginner friendly)
Once Home Assistant is installed, execute the following code in a console/terminal to check if the setup was successful:
$ hass
The first start may take a minute or two because the needed packages will be downloaded and installed. The web interface will be served on http://localhost:8123.
For more details about hass, please refer to the tools section.
If you're running a Linux-based platform, we suggest you follow the VirtualEnv instructions to avoid using root.
You may need to install additional libraries depending on the platforms/components you want to use.
