# Installation

Source: https://supernotify.rhizomatics.org.uk/latest/quick_start/installation/

## Install from HACS

First, make sure you have **HACS** installed.

If not, check the [HACS Instructions](https://hacs.xyz/docs/use/). Supernotify is one of the default repositories in HACS so no custom repo configuration required.

From the HACS page on Home Assistant, select **Supernotify** in the list of available integrations, download it, and restart Home Assistant.

## Add the Integration

Go to **Settings → Devices & Services → Add Integration** and search for **Supernotify**. Accept the defaults.

## Discovery and Defaults

Above is everything you need to do to get some notifications working.

Supernotify looks at what is already in Home Assistant and finds:

- **People** - everyone with a *Person* or a *User* in Home Assistant, and the phones or tablets they run the Home Assistant app on
- **Ways to notify** - mobile push, an existing SMTP e-mail integration, any notify entities, and devices like Alexa speakers or chimes if you have them

It builds a *delivery* for each way to notify it finds, plus some convenience ones, like `chime_siren_all` and `alexa_devices_announce_all`, if you have those devices.

Archive, duplicate detection and housekeeping settings can be adjusted afterwards from the integration's **Configure** option.

Now [send your first notification](https://supernotify.rhizomatics.org.uk/latest/quick_start/first_notification/index.md).
