Trying to load HA on a Pi 4

Configuration
1

Hello in new to HA. Im trying to load HA on a new PI4 and everything works except it puts me into command line instead of a browser. I tried to use http with the ip but it doesn’t work.
I know it is a basic issue but i don’t know what my next step is.
Thanks

on the Pi itself you SHOULD see a command line. That’s it. It’s intended to run headless.

You will generally hit the UI from a browser on another device. Usually this is http://homeassistant.local:8123, but may be http://[yourIPaddress]:8123 if you don’t have MDNS running in your environment.

If it still doesnt work, normal network troubleshooting applies:
did the HA box accept an IP address (What’s your DHCP / Router say?)
if so which one, can you ping it, etc…

Ok, there is a picture.
Is that from a monitor/keyboard hooked directly up to the PI?

Do you have a computer that is on the home network? Open a browser (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, etc) and enter either of the addresses that @NathanCU gave you in the previous reply.

Thanks for the help. i had the PI connected directly to an Ethernet that wasn’t connected to a home network. I put it behind a switch and now it works. Sorry for the dumb question.
Apricate all the help.
