Hi!
I am a layman.
Can someone tell me the answer ?

I have installed HASS as the web https://home-assistant.io/docs/installation/raspberry-pi/ said.
But my raspberry pi runs Raspbian Stretch with desktop,and now,I can’t finish my first run command"hass".My putty kept postting strings for one night and one day.such as

2018-01-18 22:57:30 INFO (MainThread) [homeassistant.core] Bus:Handling <Event state_changed[L]: old_state=<state sun.sun=below_horizon; elevation=-4.91, friendly_name=Sun, next_setting=2018-01-19T01:15:50+00:00, next_dusk=2018-01-19T01:44:11+00:00, next_rising=2018-01-18T15:19:46+00:00, next_midnight=2018-01-19T08:18:23+00:00, next_dawn=2018-01-19T14:51:04+00:00, azimuth=111.86, next_noon=2018-01-18T20:17:48+00:00 @ 2018-01-18T05:45:11.019362-08:00>, entity_id=sun.sun, new_state=<state sun.sun=below_horizon; elevation=-4.73, friendly_name=Sun, next_setting=2018-01-19T01:15:50+00:00, next_dusk=2018-01-19T01:44:11+00:00, next_rising=2018-01-18T15:19:46+00:00, next_midnight=2018-01-19T08:18:23+00:00, next_dawn=2018-01-19T14:51:04+00:00, azimuth=112.0, next_noon=2018-01-18T20:17:48+00:00 @ 2018-01-18T05:45:11.019362-08:00>>

Finally,I can’t find my configuration.yaml too.

What shall I do,if I don’t want to reflash my raspberry pi.

It looks to me like your HA instance is running. That is a readout of the sun component updating.

Can you access the HA frontend at http://ipofyourpi:8123?

In answer to the question in the title, yes, and as silvrr says, it looks like you already have.

That is at /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant. To edit it, you must change to the user homeassistant you created during the install process

$ sudo su -s /bin/bash -l homeassistant
$ cd .homeassistant

I can’t find the configuration.yaml via windows remote desktop.

If my configuration.yaml was already there,how can I edit it?

It’s in a hidden folder as notated by the . In front of the path.

/home/homeassistant/.homeassistant
