Installation Process

I'm currently running Home Assistant version 0.46.0. My preferred installation method is Hassbian.

After downloading the disk image and writing it to an SD card with Etcher, I run the following commands in Putty to install the required prerequisites.

sudo hassbian-config install mosquitto
sudo hassbian-config install libcec
sudo hassbian-config install openzwave
sudo hassbian-config install samba

I also use HASSCTL which allows for some of thsee super simple commandline shortcuts for starting, stoping, upgrading, and debugging HA.

hassctl update-hass
hassctl start
hassctl stop
hassctl error
