Generic Linux Home Assistant Install

Alternative: install Home Assistant Supervised on a generic Linux host

You can also install Home Assistant on a Linux operating system of choice, called Home Assistant Supervised. Home Assistant Supervised, will still give you access to most features Home Assistant has to offer, including add-ons.

Preparation

To prepare your machine for the Home Assistant installation, run the following commands:

If you run Ubuntu, first run this command:

sudo add-apt-repository universe	

Next run the following commands (for both Debian and Ubuntu):

sudo -i	
apt-get update	
apt-get install -y software-properties-common apparmor-utils apt-transport-https avahi-daemon ca-certificates curl dbus jq network-manager socat	
systemctl disable ModemManager	
systemctl stop ModemManager	
curl -fsSL get.docker.com | sh	

Installation of Home Assistant Supervised

The following script will then install Home Assistant on a variety of operating systems and machine types.

curl -sL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/home-assistant/supervised-installer/c674830d8ddc6af9d618755a7995af939dd73fde/installer.sh" | bash -s 	

Some installation types require flags to identify the computer type, for example, when using a Raspberry Pi 4, the flag -- -m raspberrypi4 is required. The install script would then look like this:

curl -sL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/home-assistant/supervised-installer/master/installer.sh" | bash -s -- -m raspberrypi4	

Other machine types

• intel-nuc
• raspberrypi
• raspberrypi2
• raspberrypi3
• raspberrypi3-64
• raspberrypi4
• raspberrypi4-64
• odroid-c2
• odroid-n2
• odroid-xu
• tinker
• qemuarm

If you can not find your machine type in the list, you should pick the qemu release. i.e., qemux86-64 for a normal 64-bit Linux distribution, or qemuarm-64 for most modern ARM-based target like Raspberry Pi clones, or TV boxes.
