Upgrade help

Configuration

I’m new to home assistant, had just about got my head round what I wanted to do and then I seem to have messed up an upgrade. Any help appreciated

It seems that you have used a different user (perhaps root) for the 0.19.2 installation.

I had this problem

So I ran this first

> sudo pip install --upgrade pip

then I ran

sudo pip3 install --upgrade homeassistant

Note that this means you’ll have to upgrade, and maybe run, HASS as root from now on. This is not recommended.
