I have Raspberry Pi 3 model B with Raspbian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) installed. The original Python3 version is 3.5.3.
According to the documentation for installing Home Assistant (HA) in a virtual environment, I must have Python 3.7 or later installed. I have installed Python 3.8.0 using the following steps (as root user):
apt-get update
apt install build-essential checkinstall
apt install libreadline-gplv2-dev libncursesw5-dev libssl-dev libsqlite3-dev tk-dev libgdbm-dev libc6-dev libbz2-dev
wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.8.0/Python-3.8.0.tgz
tar xzvf Python-3.8.0.tgz
cd Python-3.8.0/
./configure --enable-optimizations
make -j4
make altinstall
In the last command I used option ‘altinstall’ to prevent overwriting original Python 3.5.3. So the new Python 3.8.0 was installed separately.
Then I tried to install HA using the following instructions:
https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/installation/raspberry-pi/
https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/installation/virtualenv/
My steps:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-dev python3-venv python3-pip libffi-dev libssl-dev
sudo useradd -rm homeassistant -G dialout,gpio,i2c
cd /srv
sudo mkdir homeassistant
sudo chown homeassistant:homeassistant homeassistant
sudo -u homeassistant -H -s
cd /srv/homeassistant
python3.8 -m venv .
source bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip
python3.8 -m pip install wheel
pip3 install homeassistant
At the last step I got error:
Installing collected packages: multidict, idna, yarl, async-timeout, chardet, attrs, aiohttp, six, pycparser, cffi, bcrypt, MarkupSafe, jinja2, certifi, pytz, urllib3, requests, voluptuous, cryptography, ruamel.yaml, PyJWT, more-itertools, zipp, importlib-metadata, text-unidecode, python-slugify, pyyaml, astral, voluptuous-serialize, homeassistant
ERROR: Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: ‘/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/multidict-4.5.2.dist-info’
Consider using the --user option or check the permissions.
Why it is trying to install into ‘/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages’ directory, not into my virtualenv?
So I decided to install packages mentioned above manually (I am still inside virtualenv):
python3.8 -m pip install multidict
…
python3.8 -m pip install homeassistant
The packages installed successfully.
Then I run:
hass
And got some errors:

I spent a lot of time googling how to upgrade Python and install HA into virtualenv. I have tried some slightly different variations of instructions (they match official versions in general). Nothing helped.
What I did wrong?
I don’t want to use docker but it seems to me that I have to…
