Hass Core Installer, a new Home Assistant Installer and upgrade tool for Linux
I’m excited to announce that I have uploaded a new tool called HASS Core Installer. As you have guested, its a handy tool that makes it very easy to install, upgrade, and uninstall Home Assistant Core on Linux. So weather you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced Home Assistant user, this tool is just what you need if any of the official and recommended methods are not sufficient for your use case.
I initially developed this tool for use on Jambula OS, a custom tailored Linux operating system designed for SoC devices such as the Raspberry Pi. However, you can use it on any Linux distribution such as Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian etc.
HASS Core Installer also works off-line allowing for local installations and upgrades of Home Assistant in scenarios where there’s no access to the Internet.
To get started or contribute to this project, check out the HASS Core Installer repository on my Github!
