Well so far I am getting exactly the typical response for asking for help so no worries on that part, par for the course, and then some cryptic references that amount to nothing, then after I flop around like a gut shot squirrel, I stumble across a path that works, then for future reference I will build a step by step tutorial in this case update my current one as something changed, for the next poor sap to have a chance
This is the install I am referring to

Install Home Assistant Core
This is an advanced installation process, and some steps might differ on your system. Considering the nature of this installation type, we assume you can handle subtle differences between this document and the system configuration you are using. When in doubt, please consider one of the other installation methods, as they might be a better fit instead.
Prerequisites
This guide assumes that you already have an operating system setup and have installed Python 3.9 (including the package python3-dev) or newer.
INSTALL DEPENDENCIES
Before you start, make sure your system is fully updated, all packages in this guide are installed with apt, if your OS does not have that, look for alternatives.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
Bash
Copy
Install the dependencies:
sudo apt-get install -y python3 python3-dev python3-venv python3-pip bluez libffi-dev libssl-dev libjpeg-dev zlib1g-dev autoconf build-essential libopenjp2-7 libtiff5 libturbojpeg0-dev tzdata
Bash
Copy
The above-listed dependencies might differ or missing, depending on your system or personal use of Home Assistant.
CREATE AN ACCOUNT
Add an account for Home Assistant Core called homeassistant. Since this account is only for running Home Assistant Core the extra arguments of -rm is added to create a system account and create a home directory. The arguments -G dialout,gpio,i2c adds the user to the dialout, gpio and the i2c group. The first is required for using Z-Wave and Zigbee controllers, while the second is required to communicate with GPIO.
sudo useradd -rm homeassistant -G dialout,gpio,i2c
Bash
Copy
CREATE THE VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT
First we will create a directory for the installation of Home Assistant Core and change the owner to the homeassistant account.
sudo mkdir /srv/homeassistant
sudo chown homeassistant:homeassistant /srv/homeassistant
Bash
Copy
Next up is to create and change to a virtual environment for Home Assistant Core. This will be done as the homeassistant account.
sudo -u homeassistant -H -s
cd /srv/homeassistant
python3 -m venv .
source bin/activate
Bash
Copy
Once you have activated the virtual environment (notice the prompt change to (homeassistant) homeassistant@raspberrypi:/srv/homeassistant $) you will need to run the following command to install a required Python package.
python3 -m pip install wheel
Bash
Copy
Once you have installed the required Python package, it is now time to install Home Assistant Core!
pip3 install homeassistant
Bash
Copy
Start Home Assistant Core for the first time. This will complete the installation for you, automatically creating the .homeassistant configuration directory in the /home/homeassistant directory, and installing any basic dependencies.
hass
Bash
Copy
You can now reach your installation via the web interface on http://homeassistant.local:8123.
If this address doesnāt work you may also try http://localhost:8123 or http://X.X.X.X:8123 (replace X.X.X.X with your machinesā IP address).
When you run the hass command for the first time, it will download, install and cache the necessary libraries/dependencies. This procedure may take anywhere between 5 to 10 minutes. During that time, you may get āsite cannot be reachedā error when accessing the web interface. This will only happen for the first time, and subsequent restarts will be much faster.
