I installed HACS using the command wget -q -O - https://install.hacs.xyz | bash - on Home assistant OS, It installed fine, I’ve rebooted home assistant twice, cleared browser cache three times and refreshed my page alot. It’s been about 15 minutes since the install.
Edit (I’ve also tried a different browser)
Hey devfine,
Which installation type your using? check here for the different types: https://hacs.xyz/docs/installation/installation
Home Assistant OS
In the custom_components folder, can you see the hacs folder?
No, It is empty
ok so the script is not downloading the component …
there’s one tip in the installation page that says:
Having issues accessing
https://install.hacs.xyz? try withhttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/hacs/install/main/installinstead
can you try with that other URL?
Also would be interesting if you could paste the retur of the wget command
It returned

But there’s no “custom_components” folder in root anywhere, the only one I can see is /root/config/custom_components which is empty
I’ll try the other script but it seemed to install fine
Ok so looks like the download and installation works. that’s good …
Let’s forget for a moment the custom_components folder ( i might have it from older versions ).
If you restart and go to integrations and try to add HACS as per https://hacs.xyz/docs/configuration/basic what do you get?
Ok, I have 1 more ideas … not the best … I must confess … but … we can give it a try.
in the console ( inside HA ) as per the installation steps, download the hacs zip file from here: https://github.com/hacs/integration/releases/latest/download/hacs.zip.
unpack it in the /custom_components/hacs folder and restart again.
once restarted try the integration again.
I’m really new to this, What command should I use to download that file? git clone didn’t work
Wanted to suggest that too. Just the path should be /config/custom_components/hacs.
@devfine you can also download it with your pc, extract it and upload the folder with the file editor.
yup, no problem 
to download:
wget "https://github.com/hacs/integration/releases/latest/download/hacs.zip"
to unzip:
unzip “hacs.zip” -d “[path to your installation]/custom_components/hacs”
that option from Syntox is also a good one if you’re not familiar with linux commands - thanks Synox!
The structure then should look like this:
OK it’s in custom_components now, I’ll restart and clear my cache again and let you know
Glad you got it 
There you go!!! Nice 
Hi guys
I’m having the exact same issue, but the above steps haven’t resolved.
The unzip was successful, the file structure is in the correct place (As far as I can tell), I’ve cleared the browser cache (And tried accessing from a different device) but HACS still doesn’t appear in the add-ons.
