Noob Alert - how to run PIP commands? No Python?

Installation
1

Yes, apologies… I am only a few hours into this, and already stuck.
I followed this install and got Home Assistant up and running on my PI. I also got the apps up on my Mac, all is connected, happy days.
I use (and hate) my control4 setup for my cinema setup, and was hoping that Home Assistant was the right path for me.

Right, I need this Anthem A/V Receivers - Home Assistant working, but since it’s not part of the ‘add-on store’, I need to install it via SSH (right?). I managed to get access to SSH, but PIP is not found, and I can not seem to install Python?

Can you point me in the right direction? Yes, I did RTFF and Googled all I could, even installed AppDeamon hoping that would help?

Thanks for your help :slight_smile:

Welcome

There are 3 listed on that page. Which one did you follow? Only the last one would have pip available directly on the operating system and then only if you were in the virtual environment.

Thanks - I went with the first one. So in order to install the Anthem app I need to do a fresh install of home assistant?

Or can I somehow make it work on the current setup?

Thanks again…

It is an integration, not an addon. Thus all dependencies for it are part of Home Assistant Core, which is common to all installation methods.

If you configure this device in your configuration.yaml file as outlined in the documents it should just work.

I almost said that but looking at my HA Container install i do not see it as an integration either.

If you are in the add integrations screen, you will see this text:

Not all integrations can be configured via the UI yet.
More are available on the Home Assistant website.

It means that you will not see it appearing in the integrations user interface, but instead, you need to type the configuration yourself into the configuration.yaml file.
