Installed home assistant in Ubuntu server which was fairly easy but no hass.io button in the assistant what can I do to correct this problem
What instructions did you use to install?
Do you have hassio: in your config file?
yes i can find the file and on the ubuntu server all i did look up home assistant and installed it worked with out me installing instructions
none of this makes any sense.
There are several methods to install Home Assistant. Which one did you choose? If you didn’t install HASSIO, you don’t have HASSIO, and will NOT have HASSIO menu or Add-ons.
If you installed via python, you do not have hassio.
If you are running home assistant via docker, and you did not run the hassio install script, you do not have hassio.
If you are running Ubuntu, there is currently only ONE way to install hassio, and that is with the installer script.
Okay let’s see if I can explain how I set this up I set up ubuntu server 18.4 on its own partition according to someone’s instructions I don’t remember who on YouTube I found some instructions on how to install home assistant on Ubuntu server because I’m a newbie I mess that up and I need to delete files start all over trying to do that but it says I don’t have permission
Okay this is an update I’m looking at the home assistant on the web page without the hass. io button so there must be another way to work this haven’t found instructions how to if you know some please help
There is your problem.
Follow the documentation provided on the Home Assistant website.
Again, if you do not install HASSIO, you will not have HASSIO addons or tabs/menu. PERIOD.
HASSIO is not the same thing as Home Assistant. Home Assistant can be installed in one of many ways, one of which is via HASSIO.
Unless I am going blind, that page does not have the hassio install script for ubuntu.
Down the bottom of this page - Generic Linux Hassio installation
:
You are not going blind (simply daft!) Ubuntu is a variety of Linux. The installer is here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/home-assistant/hassio-build/master/install/hassio_install
I’ve only quickly read through the script but it looks like you’ll need to get the docker basics in place first, ahh at the start it does check the env(ironment) and asks you to install stuff so it looks pretty safe.
If you do this:
$ curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/home-assistant/hassio-build/master/install/hassio_install | bash -s
Then you will be prompted with a list of stuff that is missing and then when you fix that it will install h.io for you.
That github is linked from the install page I linked to. The install page also lists the requirements…
I execute this command and it says file not found but you can go to the webpage and look right at it
what am I doing wrong
