I have installed Home-Assistant on my Synology NAS in the Virtual Machine Manager. I have used the VMware ESXi/vSphere ova file. Everything seems to be working. But how to install Python3 in my Home-Assistant installation.
I am a complete newbie - Can anyone help?
Python3 is already installed in the VM. Actually HA is a python application.
Thank you very much. Then I just have to figure out how to run Python scripts. I am trying to find a way to control my Velux rooftop windows. There is a guy who wrote som Python Scripts for controlling.
Thanks again!
As a HA newbie, I would suggest not starting with some random python scripts 
HA actually supports some Velux interface natively. See
If that doesn’t work, what’s your setup, and what are those “python scripts”?
Thanks again for helping out. I saw the the Velux Integration - and I have and use the KLF-200 Velux interface. But as read - the native module is for controlling blinds - and not windows.
I found this on the net GitHub - Julius2342/pyvlx: PyVLX - controling VELUX windows with Python via KLF 200. It is ment to control the opening and closing of the windows - that is my goal.
As written in the description I have to run the command pip3 install pyvlx to install the integration. But I cannot figure out how and where to run this command in my VM installation of Home-Assistant. The CLI in Home Assistant do not know the command pip3 or the command python3 --version according to this troubleshooting guide Troubleshooting installation problems - Home Assistant
So I am lost …
Did you try it? Never used it myself, but it seems a window is just a class of cover as far as HA and this integration goes.
Thanks again to both for helping out. No I have not tried the native module for Velux - but I will try it out soon. I have been in the preparation and examination periode. So now - the native Velux If not working then I will try to install the Python scripts
