Add on store not in settings

Hello, newbie here

So i have installed the Rapberry Pi os using the imager suggested on the website and also installed home assistant as per the instructions on the website.

When i go into settings i cannot find the add on store. any help please?

Depending on your installation type (it doesn’t sound like you went for HAOS) - the add-on store is not an option.

For a Pi I (personally) recommend HAOS unless you have ideas to use the Pi for other things as well as HA …

The add-on store is currently under settings → add-ons.

I’ll have to check because I was under the impression that I had installed the HA OS with the install.

If you installed HAOS - you don’t then install Home Assistant. Sounds like you have installed a different combination.

ok, so i flashed the SD and ran the imager again. made sure that i installed the HAOS and when i start up the PI it opens in an HA terminal window, now what

Go to the ip of your device and port 8123 on another computer or mobile phone.

As in (example) : http://192.168.1.2:8123

The IP will be on the console you are talking about.

ok worked out my mistake.

So ive been trying to “run” home assistant thinking that I would operate it from the raspberry pi, mean time i should be logging into it like i would log into a router from my computer…

its running the preparation screen now. thanks for the help guys
