HACS install trouble

Hi team,
Having trouble installing HACS. Using a Pi 5 and after authorising GitHub and then going back into home assistant I get an error ‘could_not_register’

Have changed DNS to 8.8.8.8 but the same result and have also checked I’m not running a deprecated setup. System info below. Any help would be super appreciated

Version core-2026.4.1
Installation type Home Assistant OS
Development false
Supervisor true
Docker true
Container architecture aarch64
User root
Virtual environment false
Python version 3.14.2
Operating system family Linux
Operating system version 6.12.75-haos-raspi
CPU architecture aarch64
Timezone Australia/Adelaide
Configuration directory /config

Ok, so after attempting a bundle of times and removing auth, changing DNS, fresh install on a Pi3 and all giving the same error… turns out my email address in GitHub was not verified. Verified email and HACS has installed fine now.

Hope this helps someone else at some point because I was stuck for ages before turning to the forums for help!
