Problem with PIP installation h11

Installation
1

Hey,

Im trying to install HomeAsisstant on my raspberry pi zero w. However Im using RPI as my print server (CUPS) - so i decided to dont use HASSbian and try to manually instal via PIP.

So im using this tutorial: https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/installation/raspberry-pi/

But i have some troubbles. For example in tutorial there is line:

python3.8 -m venv .

And this line is not working. I had to change it to:

python 3 -m venv homeassistant

After that ofcourse I started venv and tried to install HomeAssistant.

python3 -m pip install homeassistant

And this comand starts working. But after couple of minutes appears error.

Collecting h11==0.* (from httpcore==0.12.*->httpx==0.16.1->homeassistant)

requests 2.25.0 has requirement idna<3,>=2.5, but you'll have idna 3.1 which is incompatible.

I have no idea how install older version of idna.

Thanks for helping

The Pi Zero W is not a recommended platform to run Home Assistant, especially not if you have other services running on the same machine.

The errors are probably because you are running python < 3.8 on this machine and this has been deprecated in the latest release. There are guides here in the forum to get it running, but honestly that’s not worth the effort, the Pi Zero will hut a limit pretty soon.

thanks for answer,

i found answer

python3 -m pip install "idna==2.7"

any recomendation/alternative to Pi Zero to run Home Assistant + CUPS?

Depends on your plans with Home Assistant. I’d keep the Pi Zero for CUPS and get a dedicated machine for Home Assistant, Pi4 or similar.
