First setup a basic raspberry pi. Then follow the steps in the manual home assistant installation.
In this case the commands on the home assistant guide did not install some packages, but we can install them manually.
sudo apt-get install libopenjp2-7-dev sudo apt-get install libtiff-tools
After testing using the “hass” command and checking the page at the raspberry pi’s ip address + :8123, then need to set home assistant to run in the background as a daemon using another guide they provided.
