Updating to 0.29.7 fails

Installation
1

I have recently installed HA manually on an R Pi 3 and have it working with some MQTT components and auto starting. I tried to update it because I thought it might solve the issue I’m having connecting to Nest Thermostat, but it fails, and throws some exceptions. Any Ideas?

Looks like you are running the upgrade as a different user to the one who installed it. Is this AIO? If so you should upgrade as the hass user and use the virtual environment. If not, you should probably use sudo to run the install as root.

I followed the manual installation instructions, so, that was done with the homeassistant user, same user that the installation was initially done under. But it was initially done in the virtual environment as well- do I need to be in the virtual environment?

(homeassistant_venv) homeassistant@raspberrypi:/srv/homeassistant $ pip3 install --upgrade homeassistant

Or do I run it as sudo, but not in venv:

homeassistant@raspberrypi:/srv/homeassistant $ sudo pip3 install --upgrade homeassistant

Your output looks correct but whatever you do DO NOT run it as sudo! Not sure what the issue is but just wanted to warn you against trying this.

Ok! Yes I was skeptical about that… I am going to do as @aimc suggested and run it as has user in venv:

(homeassistant_venv) homeassistant@raspberrypi:/srv/homeassistant $ pip3 install --upgrade homeassistant

@aimc- This is not what you suggested specifically, or idk it kindof is?— Though this isn’t AIO, I ended up running it in the virtual environment and that worked. So thank you.

(homeassistant_venv) homeassistant@raspberrypi:/srv/homeassistant $ pip3 install --upgrade homeassistant

I guess your environment was similar enough to the AIO that my suggestion worked :slight_smile: Glad you figured it out.

I am having the hardest time upgrading HASS. How do I switch to the homeassistant user I created in the manual installation of HASS? I am getting permission errors.

I figured it out. I did the following to get to the right user that was created in the manual setup

I ssh to my [email protected] and used my password

I then switched users to sudo su homeassistant

I then switched to the virtual enviroment source /srv/homeassistant/homeassistant_venv/bin/activate

I then upgraded HA pip3 install --upgrade homeassistant
