How to check home assistant has installed correctly

Configuration
1

Hey there im new to home assistant ive installed the all in one installler. Once installed i put in my ip address of my pi with:8123 for the port but home assistant doesnt come up? some help sorting this would be great

The main thing is that you have to make sure it is connected to ethernet so that it can update. If you do not have it connected to ethernet when it first boots up, and it does not have access to the internet it will not work.

After that, you have to wait, but you can peek to see if it is listening on port 8123 like this:

netstat -an | grep 8123

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8123 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

Thanks for your reply Sorry if I sound slow but really new to the whole raspberry Pi setup. Firstly do I just copy that into the terminal window as is? Secondly I re-rant the all in one installer again but still nothing when I put my raspberry Pi ip and :8123 after it… What could be possible problems is it a firewall setting? Or an install problem? Your help is greatly appreciated.

Did you use the installer where you put an image on a card and it does it for you or you installed the AIO installer over a Jessie install?

I put the image on an SD card then copied the installer script off the home assistant all in one installer page, copied it into the terminal window on the pi and let it do its thing all has ran fine. Just when i open up the browser window on the pi and enter the pi ip address and the :8123 but just says can not be connected. I was thinking ill delete the fabric folder off the pi and re-run it again to see if that works.
Is there any settings that would need to be changed in the pi to allow access?
Thanks for your help

Hi @richie07,

In the instructions says that is possible to see the log install, so you can check if you had an error or not.

https://home-assistant.io/docs/installation/raspberry-pi-all-in-one/

The log file is in this route:

/home/pi/fabric-home-assistant/installation_report.txt

Other option is using a virtualenv, In my case i have it in my raspberry pi

Thanks for that information ill have a look at that. Im thinking aswell i presently am working on a job and the accommodation im at excludes certain access to websites and possibly they may have many ports blocked and that could be the the cause but will sure look at that. thanks again
