How can I run a PIP command?

Configuration

Hi everyone. I’m new to HA. I’m following a tutorial where I need to run “pip3” command. Unfortunately I can’t have a clue on how to run it… Can I run it over SSH connection? If not, how can I do it?

Welcome and please slow down :sweat_smile:
Take a look at the installation guides https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/ first if you want to install Home Assistant.

I don’t think I was totally clear. I already have it working, but, as a newbie… I can’t understand where the correct interface to run commands is. Can you help me just telling what i need to do?

No, I can’t since I don’t know how you’ve set up Home Assistant, neither what you’re trying to run.
When you’re running HassOS you don’t really have the option of running anything else on the host.
Take a look at AppDaemon, it’s basically an easy to use python sandbox, comes as a Home Assistant Plugin/Addon as well.

I’m sorry… as I said… I am not quite familiar with the whole concept of layers and stuff. I’m following a tutorial to integrate my asterisk with HA… and, one of the steps is installing one library, called pyst2… and the command wolud be: pip3 install pyst2. That is the command I need to run and don’t have a clue where to do it. I apologize, but with I’m used to deal with bash and “pure” Linux. I’ll try the AppDaemon and let you know if things work. :slight_smile:

So I guess the available asterisk integrations don’t suit your need then?
Looking for integrations is usually the first step in setting up new devices / services inside Home Assistant :slight_smile:

As I could see… in the tutorial I mentioned, I can check extensions ringing, talking and so on… This would be useful… more than in the integrarions you mentioned. Anyway… I’ll give it a shot too… As I said… I’ll let you know if thigs works. Tks again. :slightly_smiling_face:

Here’s a little more info on the Addon: https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-appdaemon/blob/a9934280ebf9a2d3a48549f220d4fbb440b2e041/appdaemon/DOCS.md

If pip3 seems missing try this:
python3 -m pip

That’s my let’s say confusion… I can’t run python or python3 either. I connect via SSH and there I have just a little set of commands. I know I should learn more… but I couldn’t find any explanations on this process so far
