<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>
<div class="highlighter-coderay"><div class="CodeRay">
<div class="code"><pre>$ pip3 install homeassistant
$ hass --open-ui
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<p>Running these commands will:</p>
<ul>
<li>Install Home Assistant</li>
<li>Launch Home Assistant and serve the web interface on <a href="http://localhost:8123">http://localhost:8123</a></li>
</ul>
<p>If would prefer to watch a video tutorial however, <a href="https://github.com/tktino">tktino</a> has made some great ones.</p>

</ul>
</div> <!-- INSTALL-INSTRUCTIONS NORMAL -->
<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=&quot;home-assistant&quot; -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>)
</p>
</div> <!-- INSTALL-INSTRUCTIONS DOCKER -->
<div class="install-instructions raspberry">
<p>Home Assistant requires the Raspberry Pi to run <a href="https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/">Raspbian Jessie</a>. This version was released on September 24, 2015 and comes by default with Python 3.4 which is required for Home Assistant.</p>
<p>Execute the following code in a console:</p>
<div class="highlighter-coderay"><div class="CodeRay">
<div class="code"><pre>$ sudo pip3 install homeassistant
$ hass
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<p>Running these commands will:</p>
<ul>
<li>Install Home Assistant</li>
<li>Launch Home Assistant and serve the web interface on <a href="http://localhost:8123">http://localhost:8123</a></li>
</ul>
