'''NOTE:''' This is not officially supported by Amahi and is still in early development.

==Install==
Download a Scientific Linux 6.1 x86_64 DVD iso from:
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6.1/x86_64/iso/SL-61-x86_64-2011-07-27-Install-DVD.iso
Or a Scientific Linux 6.1 i386 DVD iso from:
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6.1/i386/iso/SL-61-i386-2011-07-27-Install-DVD.iso
Depending on your machines processor (32bit or 64bit)
Note: These instructions are based on the x86_64 version.

Install Scientific Linux 6.1 ( I did a minimal desktop installation )
Enter the hostname you gave amahi i.e. hda.home.com.
Remember the root password.

Reboot when requested.
You will be asked to create a user,
then when asked 'Synchronize date and time over the internet', click in the box
You may get a Kdump error, you can ignore this, click OK then Finish

Login as the user you just created.
Right click on the Network icon on the top bar (this is at the right).
Then select 'Edit Connections'.
Select 'wired', 'System eth0', then the 'IPv4' tab.
Change the method to manual.
Click on Add and enter the ipaddress you gave Amahi, press the tab key.
Click under 'Gateway' and enter your routes ipaddress.
Add your ISP's nameservers and the search domain, this is usually home.com unless you gave Amahi a different one.
Click in the box (at the top) next to 'Connect automatically'
Click on the 'Apply' button and enter root password when asked.

Now open a terminal and change to the root user:
{{Code|su -}}
Enter root password

Now we need to turn off Selinux
{{Code|nano /etc/sysconfig/selinux}}
Change:
SELINUX=enforcing
To:
SELINUX=disabled

Reboot to ensure everything is ok then update
Again, as root in a terminal
{{Code|yum update}}

Once the system is updated, reboot again

You now to install a couple of repositories:

{{Code|yum -y install http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm}}

{{Code|yum -y install http://passenger.stealthymonkeys.com/rhel/6/passenger-release.noarch.rpm}}

Now install a few packages:

{{Code|yum -y install ruby-libs php-mbstring ImageMagick perl-Authen-PAM openvpn pkcs11-helper fpaste ruby-RMagick rubygem-rack rubygem-fastthread libev rubygem-rack-test rubygem-sinatra mod_fcgid ruby-ldap rubygem-daemon_controller rubygem-passenger rubygem-passenger-native rubygem-passenger-native-libs mod_passenger bind}}

Finally, we need to download and install a couple of packages:

{{Code|wget ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/releases/13/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/cadaver-0.23.3-1.fc13.x86_64.rpm}}

{{Code|wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/14/x86_64/boost-random-1.44.0-8.fc14.x86_64.rpm}}

{{Code|yum -y localinstall cadaver-0.23.3-1.fc13.x86_64.rpm}}

{{Code|yum -y localinstall boost-random-1.44.0-8.fc14.x86_64.rpm}}

Now you need to create an Amahi repo file:

{{Code|nano /etc/yum.repos.d/amahi.repo}}

{{Text|[amahi]
name<nowiki>=</nowiki>Amahi repository for Fedora 14
baseurl<nowiki>=</nowiki>http://f14.amahi.org/
enabled<nowiki>=</nowiki>1
gpgcheck<nowiki>=</nowiki>0
gpgkey<nowiki>=</nowiki>file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-amahi
exclude<nowiki>=</nowiki>ruby,ruby-rdoc,ruby-irb,ruby-libs,ruby-ri,ruby-devel,rubygem-passenger-native-libs,mod_passenger,perl-Authen-PAM,rubygem-passenger,rubygem-passenger-native,dhcp,rubygem-rack-test,rubygem-sinatra}}

When hda-suite is installed later, it overwrites the amahi.repo file, so we will install hda-release first then reset the repo file.
{{Code|yum -y install hda-release}}

Once it installed recreate the amahi.repo file as above.

Edit /etc/issue and add 'Fedora' to the end of the top line.

{{Code|nano /etc/issue}}

{{Text|Scientific Linux release 6.1 (Carbon) Fedora <--- Added here!
Kernel \r on an \m}}

There are a few problems with the DNS server.
Create /etc/rndc.key
{{Code|rndc-confgen -a}}

Change the owner of /etc/rndc.key
{{Code|chown named /etc/rndc.key}}

Change the owner of /var/named.
{{Code|chown -R named:named /var/named}}

Finally, restart the DNS server.
{{Code|service named restart}}

Now install the Amahi packages:
{{Code|yum -y install hda-suite}}

Unfortunately, to see and download apps, you computer has to use an alias.
{{Code|cp /etc/redhat-release /etc/redhat-release.orig}}
{{Code|echo "Fedora release 14 (Laughlin)" > /etc/redhat-release}}

Start the Amahi web installer:
{{Code|service amahi-installer start}}

Goto: http://localhost:2000 to complete the install. You can get your Install Code by logging into http://amahi.org and going to your control panel.

You can also install by going to http://your-hda-ipaddress:2000 from another PC but you will have to temporarily turn off the firewall:
{{Code|service iptables stop}}

At the end you should have a working Amahi Hda server running on Scientific Linux 6.1; this has an E.O.L of Until at least 2017-11-11

I must point out that whilst this worked for me, it may not work for you, but I cannot see any reason why it would not.

==Install==
Download a Scientific Linux 6.1 DVD iso from either:
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/sc ... ll-DVD.iso
Or
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/sc ... ll-DVD.iso
Depending on your machines processor (32bit or 64bit)
Note: I used the x86_64 version.

Install and update Scientific Linux 6.1 ( I did a minimal desktop installation )

Reboot to ensure everything is ok

You now need to install a few packages from SL's repository:

{{Code|yum install ruby-libs php-mbstring ImageMagick gcc rpm-build}}

Now you need to download and install the following packages:

{{code|wget http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el6/en/x86_64/r ... x86_64.rpm
wget http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el6/en/x86_64/r ... x86_64.rpm

I then had to create a cadaver rpm package, as I could not find one via Google.
Login in as none root user

{{Code|mkdir $HOME/rpm $HOME/rpm/SOURCES $HOME/rpm/SPECS $HOME/rpm/BUILD $HOME/rpm/SRPMS $HOME/rpm/RPMS $HOME/rpm/RPMS
cd rpm/SOURCES
wget http://www.webdav.org/cadaver/cadaver-0.23.3.tar.gz
cd ..
cd SPECS}}

you now need to create a spec file

{{Code|nano cadaver.spec}}

* Initial creation

You now need to create the cadaver rpm with:
{{Code|rpmbuild -bb cadaver.spec}}
Next, install the rpm.
{{Code|cd ..
cd RPMS/x86_64 <-- change the x86_64 to i386 if you used the i386 iso install.
yum localinstall cadaver-0.23.3-3.x86_64.rpm <-- again change, if required to match your rpm file.}}

Now you need to create an Amahi repo file:
Note, you might have to recreate this file if overwitten by Amahi.

{{Code|nano /etc/yum.repos.d/amahi.repo}}

{{Text|[amahi]
name<nowiki>=</nowiki>Amahi repository for Fedora 14
baseurl<nowiki>=</nowiki>http://f14.amahi.org/
enabled<nowiki>=</nowiki>1
gpgcheck<nowiki>=</nowiki>0
gpgkey<nowiki>=</nowiki>file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-amahi
exclude<nowiki>=</nowiki>ruby,ruby-rdoc,ruby-irb,ruby-libs,ruby-ri,ruby-devel,rubygem-passenger-native-libs,mod_passenger,perl-Authen-PAM,rubygem-passenger,rubygem-passenger-native,dhcp,rubygem-rack-test,rubygem-sinatra}}

Edit /etc/issue and add 'Fedora' to the end of the top line.

{{Code|nano /etc/issue}}

{{Text|Scientific Linux release 6.1 (Carbon) Fedora <--- Added here!
Kernel \r on an \m}}

The Openvpn files are not in the required place, create a link
{{Code|ln -s /usr/share/openvpn /usr/lib64/openvpn}}

There are a few prolems with the DNS server.
Create /etc/rndc.key
{{Code|rndc-confgen -a}}

Change the owner of /etc/rndc.key
{{Code|chown named /etc/rndc.key}}

Remove any journal files.
{{Code|rm -rf /var/named/dynamic/*.jnl}}

Change the owner of /var/named.
{{Code|chown -R named:named /var/named}}

Finally, restart the DNS server.
{{Code|service named restart}}

Now follow the Amahi install instructions here: http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Self-install-existing
ignore the update dhclient command.

At the end you should have a working Amahi Hda server running on Scientific Linux 6.1, this has an E.O.L of Until at least
2017-11-11

I must point out that whilst this worked for me, it may not work for you, but I cannot see any reason why it would not.
