Hi Everyone,
Need help in installing homeassistant on raspberry Pi. Followed the Manual installation guide.
Tried to install home assistant on raspberry Pi but getting errors, can any one tell mi why I am getting those errors?
Complete newbie.
Here are the screenshots of the errors:

“Remote End closed connection” is a network error. Possibly the server was too busy. Try again later
You are attempting the most difficult approach to installing HA. If you are a complete newbie, I suggest you use hassio or at least hassbian, which avoid some of the more complex procedures.
There are multiple ways to install Home Assistant, but here’s my process:
Download the SD image from here:
https://www.home-assistant.io/hassio/installation/
Flash the image to a 32Gb or larger Micro-SD card.
Insert SD card and boot. Done. (Except for the fun of configuring your installation, but that would be another thread.).
Every method of installing Home Assistant has its pros and cons. My process is the easiest, but the Pi is running Hass.io, not Raspian, so I can’t do other things with that Pi. But the Raspberry Pi is cheap, so if you want to do other things with the Pi, buy another one.
Thanks for your response, I mean I am complete newbie to home assistant but I am familiar with raspberry Pi and linux system (not a professional but but have a quite good knowledge).
Basically I am planning to run flask webserver on raspberry Pi along with homeassistant that is why I am manually installing homeassistant. (I am not sure whether this idea will work or not but my mom’s always says “experience is what you get when you don’t get what you want🙂”).
Thanks again!
Actually I have tried 2 times to Install home assistant but still get the same error even though the raspberry Pi up and running ani via putty able to communicate so not sure why I am getting error “Remote End closed connection”.
I just created a test virtual environment on my desktop and installed HA there without problems, so there isn’t anything wrong at the moment.
Do you get any files downloaded, or does it disconnect when attempting to download the first?
Another alternative is to install hassbian (which is raspbian with HA installed), and then install flask on top of that. But it shouldn’t be necessary, and I suspect you would end up with the same network problems.
Ok wait let me perform it once again and then I will give us complete process output that runs after entering the command “pip3 install homeassistant”.
But according to the installation manual, all works fine and everything gets downloaded untill I execute the command “pip3 install homeassistant”.
Why does it have to be the same Pi?
Ok it worked!
Sry for wasting your time it was my silly mistake, I didn’t updated the raspberry Pi time.
Thanks again.
No such specific reason, just trying it out if it works!
If it works then planning to autostart both, on booting the raspberry pi.
