Since about 1800 GMT yesterday there was a release of a package that we depend on that made new installations with a old version of pip not function.

It should be fixed by now.

Hi there,
Yesterday I tried the Hassbian for the first time on a RPI3 (ethernet connected and with internet, since I could ping 8.8.8.8) but could not open the http://ip:8123 webpage afterwards.
After further digging, I have found this on the pip.log at /home/homeassistant/.pip/

I have now downloaded the hassbian image again and retried but got the same results. Also tried to use raspbian, but it fails at this point:
(homeassistant) homeassistant@raspberrypi:/srv/homeassistant $ pip3 install homeassistant
Saying that it cannot connect to an http pip url

Is there anything wrong I am doing ?

That’s a strange one. Can you install packages from pip on your desktop/laptop?

I did try installing it on my ubuntu machine and it worked. But neither the Hassbian or raspbian on the Rpi3 worked.
Only way i got it working right now on the Rpi3, was by using the AIO installation option on top of hassbian image.

Is there anything I can do to figure out why the hassbian image fails to install homeassistant ?

did you connected the raspberrry to the internet when booting the pi into first time
