Install Home Assistant Core

[pw44]

Feedback

On this link, there is the instruction to install HASS Core

https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/generic-x86-64/#install-home-assistant-core

Also instructs to pip3 install homeassistant==2024.10.3

But there is no mention to UV and by this one, a lot of errors.

I have the following:

`/etc/systemd/system/home-assistant.service [Unit] Description=Home Assistant After=network-online.target

[Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target`

After update (sudo -u homeassistant -H -s, cd /var/homeassistant, python3.12 -m venv, source bin/activate, pip3 install --upgrade homeassistant) i get:

Consider creating a virtual environment with uv venv.`

I'm not undestanding the suggestion of Consider creating a virtual environment with uv venv

Maybe a new install instruction considering the uv section would solve all theses problems, where some less instructed in python and virtual environments would have at least the chance to do a real upgrade as upgrading python, creating a new environment or venv and install new getting rid of this uv errors.
