==== 5.2 Download and Install HACS ====

# '''Download HACS (Home Assistant Community Store):'''
#* Go to [https://www.hacs.xyz/docs/use/download/download/ HACS → Download] on their website.
#* Click onto the '''OS/supervised''' version, as that’s the version of Home Assistant we have installed.
# '''Open the HACS Add-on Repository:'''
#* Click the link provided to add the HACS repository to your Home Assistant instance. It’ll ask you to '''Add missing'''.
# '''Enter Home Assistant URL:'''
#* It will ask for your Home Assistant link.
#* By default, Home Assistant may attempt to use <code>homeassistant.local:8123</code>, which will fail.
#* If you are following this guide’s setup, use one of the following URLs:
#** Local Domain: <code>http://homeassistant.home.arpa:8123</code>
#** Direct IP: <code>http://192.168.5.4:8123</code>
#* Replace these with your actual Home Assistant domain or IP address if different.
# '''Install HACS:'''
#* Follow the prompts to install HACS in Home Assistant.
#* ''BE PATIENT!'' Click on the LOGS tab and wait for it to be '''''DONE!!!''''' before you try to start adding things, or nothing will work.
# '''Restart Home Assistant:'''
#* After installation, restart your Home Assistant instance for the changes to take effect.
#* Go to settings → system → power button icon in the upper right-hand corner, click the power button, and click “restart home assistant.” '''''DO NOT DO THIS UNTIL THE LOGS TAB FOR HACS SAYS EVERYTHING IS DONE'''''
# '''Clear your browser cache, cookies, etc.'''
# '''Log back into Home Assistant.'''
# '''Go to Settings → Devices &amp; Services → Add Integration &amp; Search for HACS'''
#* If it doesn’t show up, do not pass go, do not collect $200 – re-follow the instructions [https://www.hacs.xyz/docs/use/download/download/ here] and [https://www.hacs.xyz/docs/use/configuration/basic/#setting-up-the-hacs-integration here]. Clear your browser cache/cookies, choose the option to reboot Home Assistant rather than restart Home Assistant when you go to settings → system → power button icon in the upper right-hand corner, clear cache/cookies in the browser, go to settings → addons → get HACS → CLICK START.
# '''Go to logs'''
