I tried several times full new installations of HA and Hacs, and it is always the same … Can you help me ?
Thks…

PS; I have updated Hacs and HA to the last versions.

That helped me too. Thanks!

I’m experiencing the same issue. I installed HACS yesterday following the instructions on the official HACS website. Should I uninstall this version before following the instructions provided by @vinay01joshi ?
Thanks

Great thanks! it works

71

How to edit “hacs.sh” file. Is the file somewhere in the directory?

72

This has been a wasted morning. I’ve tried several solutions mentioned in this thread w/o success. Have the authors of HACS addressed this issue?

Just done another Home Assistant update for May 06 version, (Backup and Update) - HACS loaded after that … maybe it could work for you now?

74

I finally got it loaded. I used the script hack to drop back a version for the install and did the update after.

75

No you can just follow the instruction .

76

use vi editor.

thanks

but I have a problem after starting the script via SSH on NAS
ERROR: 'unzip' is not installed
I am with HA Container on docker under DSM Synology…

EDIT: it’s OK. I opened a terminal in docker Home Assistant and got

Hi this was 100% doing my head in.
I signed up for my 1 month free trial of the cloud thing and presto it immediately worked at the next
Attempt. I tried downgrading, rebooting, clearing cavhes etc nothing worked. But the free trial did.
Hope this works for others.
Obviously one questions why!
