Download the latest image.

Decompress it, if needed. Note that some
.xzfiles were broken.xz -d -v haos_ova-10.4.qcow2.xzorunxz haos_ova-10.4.qcow2.xz360 zip works perfect.
Install the HAOS VM
virt-install --import --name hass --description "Home Assistant OS" --os-variant=generic \

--network bridge=br0,model=virtio \

Then wait patiently.
