Host Install
When installing diyHue directly on the host, you have two installation methods available. An easy automatic installation script or the commands to install it manually. The automatic install is highly recommended and is kept most up to date.
Just run the following command to install:
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/diyhue/diyHue/master/BridgeEmulator/easy_install.sh | sudo bash /dev/stdin
Once complete, diyHue is installed and running. It will also automatically start on boot. diyHue can also be stopped, started and restarted with the following command:
sudo systemctl [start/stop/restart] hue-emulator.service
- Download or clone the mirror with git (recommended)
git clone https://github.com/diyhue/diyHue.git - Create startup systemd file based on the following example:
sudo nano /lib/systemd/system/hue-emulator.service
paste the following code and edit the path of the emulator script
