$ 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](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones))
Home Assistant requires the Raspberry Pi to run Raspbian Jessie. This version has been released on September 24, 2015 and comes by default with Python 3.4 which is required for Home Assistant.
Execute the following code in a console:
$ pip3 install homeassistant
$ hass --open-ui
Running these commands will:
- Install Home Assistant
- Launch Home Assistant and serve web interface on http://localhost:8123
