Troubleshooting installation problems

<p>It can happen that you run into trouble while installing Home Assistant. This page is here to help you solve the most common problems.</p>
<h4><a class="title-link" name="pip3-command-not-found" href="#pip3-command-not-found"></a> pip3: command not found</h4>
<p>This utility should have been installed as part of the Python 3.4 installation. Check if Python 3.4 is installed by running <code class="highlighter-rouge">python3 --version</code>. If it is not installed, <a href="https://www.python.org/getit/">download it here</a>.</p>
<p>If you are able to successfully run <code class="highlighter-rouge">python3 --version</code> but not <code class="highlighter-rouge">pip3</code>, install Home Assistant by running the following command instead:</p>
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>python3 -m pip install homeassistant
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>On a Debian system, you can also install python3 by <code class="highlighter-rouge">sudo apt-get install python3</code>, and pip3 by <code class="highlighter-rouge">sudo apt-get install python3-pip</code>.</p>
<h4><a class="title-link" name="no-module-named-pip" href="#no-module-named-pip"></a> No module named pip</h4>
<p><a href="https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/">Pip</a> should come bundled with the latest Python 3 but is omitted by some distributions. If you are unable to run <code class="highlighter-rouge">python3 -m pip --version</code> you can install <code class="highlighter-rouge">pip</code> by <a href="https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py">downloading the installer</a> and running it with Python 3:</p>
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>python3 get-pip.py
</code></pre>
</div>
<h4><a class="title-link" name="libyaml-is-not-found-or-a-compiler-error" href="#libyaml-is-not-found-or-a-compiler-error"></a> libyaml is not found or a compiler error</h4>
<p>On a Debian system, install the Python 3 YAML library by <code class="highlighter-rouge">sudo apt-get install python3-yaml</code>.</p>
<h4><a class="title-link" name="distutilserrorsdistutilsoptionerror-must-supply-either-home-or-prefixexec-prefix----not-both" href="#distutilserrorsdistutilsoptionerror-must-supply-either-home-or-prefixexec-prefix----not-both"></a> distutils.errors.DistutilsOptionError: must supply either home or prefix/exec-prefix not both</h4>
<p>This is a known issue if youre on a Mac using Homebrew to install Python. Please follow <a href="https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/blob/master/docs/Homebrew-and-Python.md#note-on-pip-install---user">these instructions</a> to resolve it.</p>
<h4><a class="title-link" name="no-access-to-the-frontend" href="#no-access-to-the-frontend"></a> No access to the frontend</h4>
<p>In newer Linux distributions (at least Fedora &gt; 22/CentOS 7) the access to a host is very limited. This means that you cant access the Home Assistant frontend that is running on a host outside of the host machine. Windows and macOS machines may also have issues with this.</p>
<p>To fix this you will need to open your machines firewall for TCP traffic to port 8123. The method for doing this will vary depending on your operating system and the firewall you have installed. Below are some suggestions to try. Google is your friend here.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/open-port-windows-firewall#1TC=windows-7">Windows instructions</a></li>
<li><a href="https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201642">macOS instructions</a></li>
</ul>
<p>For systems with <strong>firewalld</strong> (Fedora, CentOS/RHEL, etc.):</p>
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port<span class="o">=</span>8123/tcp
<span class="gp">$ </span>sudo firewall-cmd --reload
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>For UFW systems (Ubuntu, Debian, Raspbian, etc.):</p>
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>sudo ufw allow 8123/tcp
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>For <code class="highlighter-rouge">iptables</code> systems (was the default for older distributions):</p>
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 8123 -j ACCEPT
<span class="gp">$ </span>iptables-save &gt; /etc/network/iptables.rules <span class="c"># your rules may be saved elsewhere</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<h4><a class="title-link" name="after-upgrading-your-browser-login-gets-stuck-at-the-loading-data-step" href="#after-upgrading-your-browser-login-gets-stuck-at-the-loading-data-step"></a> After upgrading, your browser login gets stuck at the “loading data” step</h4>
<p>After upgrading to a new version, you may notice your browser gets stuck at the “loading data” login screen. Close the window/tab and go into your browser settings and delete all the cookies for your URL. You can then log back in and it should work.</p>
<p>Android Chrome
chrome -&gt; settings -&gt; site settings -&gt; storage -&gt; search for your URL for Home Assistant-&gt; “clear &amp; reset”</p>
