<p>Installing and running Home Assistant on your local machine is easy. Make sure you have <a href="https://www.python.org/downloads/">Python 3.4 or higher</a> installed and execute the following code in a console:</p>
|
||
|
||
<p class="note">
|
||
It’s highly recommended to use a <a href="https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/venv.html">virtual environment</a> to keep things separated. A virtual environment can be created by exceuting the following command: <code>python3 -m venv /path/where/you/home-assistant/</code>. Then change to the created directory and go the next step.

|
||
|
||
<p>To update Home Assistant to the latest release when available, run: <code>pip3 install --upgrade homeassistant</code></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>You have to restart Home Assistant (<code>hass</code> itself or with the help of the autostarting daemon if you use any) for the changes to take effect.</p>

<div class="install-instructions docker">
|
||
|
||
<p>Installation with Docker is straightforward. Adjust the following command so that <code>/path/to/your/config/</code> points at the folder where you want to store your config and run it:</p>
|
||
|
||
<div class="highlighter-coderay"><div class="CodeRay">
|
||
<div class="code"><pre>$ docker run -d --name="home-assistant" -v /path/to/your/config:/config -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro --net=host balloob/home-assistant
|
||
</pre></div>
|
||
</div>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<p>This will launch Home Assistant and serve the web interface from port 8123 on your Docker host.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p class="note">
|
||
When using boot2docker on OS X you are unable to map the local time to your Docker container. Replace <code>-v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro</code> with <code>-e "TZ=America/Los_Angeles"</code> (replacing America/Los_Angeles with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones">your timezone</a>)
