# Get HACS

> Get HACS is an app for Home Assistant. It has 138k installs sharing analytics and was last updated October 26, 2026.

Get HACS is an app that downloads HACS for a Home Assistant installation. It does not run HACS itself and only handles fetching it. After the app is started, its logs show the instructions to follow. It requires Home Assistant OS and is built for armhf, armv7, aarch64, amd64 and i386 systems. The app has no page of its own in the sidebar and needs no special permissions.
