Installing and running Home Assistant on your local machine is easy. The only requirement is that you have Python 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:
$ 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
If you're running a Linux-based platform, we suggest you follow the VirtualEnv Linux instructions to avoid using root.
Video tutorials of this process for various operating systems are available here:
