Installation is either by pip3 or Docker.

Clone the Repository

For either method you will need to clone the AppDaemon repository to the current local directory on your machine.

$ git clone https://github.com/acockburn/appdaemon.git

Change your working directory to the repository root. Moving forward, we will be working from this directory.

$ cd appdaemon

Install using Docker

To build the Docker image run the following:

$ docker build -t appdaemon .

(Note the period at the end of the above command)

Install Using PIP3

Before running AppDaemon you will need to install the package:

$ sudo pip3 install .
