I've just followed the instructions for installing HASS Core on Windows 11 WSL with Ubuntu.

This command doesn't work:

sudo apt-get install -y python3 python3-dev python3-venv python3-pip bluez libffi-dev libssl-dev libjpeg-dev zlib1g-dev autoconf build-essential libopenjp2-7 libtiff6 libturbojpeg0-dev tzdata ffmpeg liblapack3 liblapack-dev libatlas-base-dev

The error is:

E: Unable to locate package libtiff6

Also, this command:

python3 -m pip install wheel

Installs a version of python (3.10) which is out of date and therefore doesn't allow the following command to work:

pip3 install homeassistant==2023.11.2

as it lists out all the available versions and they end at 2023.7.x

I had to follow the instructions here to add the deadsnakes PPA to be able to get the newer version of Python 3.11 which then allowed me to run the above command to get HASS 2023.11.2.

I'm currently stuck on trying to run HASS for the first time because I get the following errors:

homeassistant@Dell:/home/dan$ hass
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/command-not-found", line 28, in
from CommandNotFound import CommandNotFound
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/CommandNotFound/CommandNotFound.py", line 19, in
from CommandNotFound.db.db import SqliteDatabase
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/CommandNotFound/db/db.py", line 5, in
import apt_pkg
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'apt_pkg'

It would be great if someone who knows what they're doing (not me!) could do a fresh Windows 11 and WSL+Ubuntu install and follow the guide through from the beginning. You'll find that the guide is pretty broken at the moment and needs updating!

Any tips on how to get HASS running would be much appreciated.
