It should work fine on a pi running hassbian although you may need to include some extra packages as I’m not sure what distro hassbian was based on. If it is the full raspbian you should have no issues.
Maybe I should have said hassbien. I followed brush automation for a guide. I am new to python and such. Old school like cobalt and serial Trying to keep up with all of u.

with this instruction?
Confused I guess?
When you have appdaemon installed by either method, copy the conf/appdaemon.cfg.example file to conf/appdaemon.cfg, then edit the [AppDaemon] section to reflect your environment:What am I to do?
Sorry If I am asking stupid questions
Awesone!! Someone who knows what even and odd parity and a stop bit are for!!!
Yes very much I do even baud rate,I will even bragg and say I know bbs boards…LOL shows my age…Still trying to figure out python thou…
its a empty file!
You and me both, you and me both. 
I did punch cards my Freshman year in college. Learned basic on a PDP-11 and Fortran on a sigma 9. LOL
Yes appdaemon works perfectly on hassbian.

Ok, back to your problem. So much for the good old days.
It looks like you installed appdaemon in the standard directory. /home/appdaemon_dashboard/appdaemon
from there go to the conf directory and do a directory listing using ls -l . That will give us a long listing with file sizes, ownership, and group membership as well as other stuff.
I thought the standard place to install is /home/pi/appdaemon-dashboard/appdaemon
like this?
pi@HA:~ $ ls
haaska letsencrypt libcec platform
pi@HA:~ $ cd /home
pi@HA:/home $ ls
appdaemon_dashboard homeassistant pi
pi@HA:/home $ cd /home/assdaemon_dashboard
-bash: cd: /home/assdaemon_dashboard: No such file or directory
pi@HA:/home $ cd /home/appdaemon_dashboard
pi@HA:/home/appdaemon_dashboard $ ls
appdaemon
pi@HA:/home/appdaemon_dashboard $
I notice I have a dir with just appdaemon_dashboard its not under pi …is that the problem?
It could be. It’s not the norm. If you meant it that way, and you know how to handle it, it’s not a problem. If it wasn’t what you intended it makes you somewhat non-standard and harder to support.
And use the -l option on ls
ls -l
The output will be something like what is below. Not exact, but similar in format. Also when you post a directory listing or code listing, after pasting it into the window, highlight it and click on the “<\>” button in the toolbar for the editor. That retains the formatting and makes it easier to read.
