HACS issue

[94Z28 (Justin)]

Hello,

I am new to HA and I have been tinkering over the holiday break. I decided to install HACS to try a more “automated” add-on install tool. I am running a Rpi3b+ with Raspbian, HA is install in a Python VENV. Everything looks good with the HACS install from what I can tell, but once I go into the community, find a file to download and click “Install” it just refreshes the page.

The log is only giving me “Download not complete” and before a reboot I seen something about repository.py that I cannot get to recreate.

2019-11-29 19:53:05 ERROR (MainThread) [hacs.repository.integration.bruxy70.Garbage-Collection] Download was not complete.
2019-11-29 20:07:33 ERROR (MainThread) [hacs.repository.integration.custom-components.sensor.kodi_recently_added] Download was not complete.

Any ideas?

/edit Nevermind it was permissions… I thought twice to go verify permissions and that fixed the problem!

HACS is an abbreviation of “Home Assistant Community Store”. Although “Store” is not “technically” correct since nothing is sold, it’s more like a marketplace? but “HACM” didn’t have the same ring to it. HACS is a component that gives the user a powerful UI to handle downloads of custom nee…

How did you fix the permissions problem?

Get into the directory of home assistant config and I just wrote the following command:
chown -R HomeAssistant:HomeAssistant *
You would replace HomeAssistant on both sides of the colon with the username that runs the HA service. Alternatively you can do this just in the custom_components folder. Also check file permissions on the folders with ls -l
