I’m trying to install esphome on the same Pi as I have home assistant running.
HA is installed with Hassbian.
I move inside the virtual env and try to install esphome with pip install esphome and the process starts but I get an error and it is not installed.
(homeassistant) pi@hassbian:~ $ pip install esphome

You are using pip version 18.1, however version 19.0.3 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.
If I try to install it outside of the virt env I get an error telling me pip isn’t installed.
Can anyone please help me, what is the best way to install it on the same Pi as HA?
according to python --version the python version in the virtual environewmt is 3.5.x
I think esphome supports up to 2.7.
correct?
So id have to downgrade python?
If im wrong (I usually am ) is it safe to upgrade the python version inside the virt enc that HA is installed?
I’ve installed pip outside the virt env, and seeing if esphome will install, I think this is probably not the best route though?
I installed pip outside the virtual env with sudo apt install python-pip
then installed esphome with pip install esphome
when I try to use it I get the -bash: esphome: command not found error
I think this is what is confusing me a little, all the documentation on the official site says to use pip, yet a little googling refers to pip2
As far as I can see it needs to run with python 2.7, and so older versions wont run it.
Ive tried to run a compile with python2 -m blahblah.yaml compile but get the segmentation error as seen in a post above, a reboot of the pi didn’t help
thanks for the link, interesting.
I think for the ‘safety’ of my home assistant instance, I will not try to mess to much on this Pi, so ill try and get another Pi I have laying about set up as a dev machine.
In your link you mention installing Python 2, but this comes pre-loaded on Raspbian stretch (lite) right?
I can see you’re a fan of docker, but my setup does not include docker, and tbh im not prepared to overhaul my entire eco-system. Appreciate the input though
