WATCH THE NEW AND UPDATED HACS TUTORIAL VIDEO HERE: https://youtu.be/Q8Gj0LiklRE

2022 VERSION of the How to install HACS in Home Assistant guide.
This tutorial shows how you can install the Home Assistant Community Store, also know as HACS in Home Assistant. With HACS you can install and update virtually every integration that has been developed by the community in an easy manner.

I updated the new wget command in this video. But, it might change in the future, so the correct code used in this video (wget...) and more information can be found here so that you can copy and paste it:

wget -O - https://get.hacs.xyz | bash -

Having issues accessing https://get.hacs.xyz in the terminal?
Try it with
wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hacs/get/main/get | bash -
