I’m trying to set up HA Core on a mac following the instructions at MacOS - Home Assistant .
I made the srv/homeassistant folders in usr/ronnieericsson but after running hass without success, I am now thinking maybe they’re supposed to be created above that level or perhaps inside usr/homeassistant?
I have 2 admin accounts/user folders now: ronnieericsson (standard) and homeassistant.
So -are the folders supposed to be created within one of those or above them in usr or even above usr?
The guide says to enter these commands:
sudo mkdir /srv/homeassistant
sudo chown homeassistant:homeassistant /srv/homeassistant
It sounds like you made a folder called srv/homeassistant inside another one? If so that’s not correct. It says /srv/homeassistant. Since that path starts with / it is an absolute path not a relative one. Your supposed to copy those commands and execute them exactly as they are written.
Thanks, but I had just made it unnecessarily complicated for myself.
I could just skip using a separate Homeassistant user account, skip checking for Python version and skip bash scripting for now.
I got it up and running in mystandarduser/srv/homeassistant.
