= Installing Amahi 7 (Express-Disc) =
* The express-disc installation method is the primary installation method for Amahi 7 with Fedora 19 and as such, upgrades from prior versions of Fedora are not advised, since very much has changed since older versions of Fedora.
* This installation method works with both physical and virtual machine systems.
* Separate wiki articles are in the works for transitioning old storage/ shares to new installations.

=== Installation Guide Video! ===
[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PplxD2D7Sk Please see the video tutorial for installation]

=== Installation Guide ===
[http://docs.amahi.org/amahi-7-express Please reference the Amahi Documentation]

= Installing Amahi 7 <u>for Testing</u> =
NOTE: for installing Amahi 7 for development, visit the [[Fedora 19]] page

* Install Fedora 19 '''minimal''', 32 or 64 bits (desktop should be OK, LiveCD may not work as it includes different stuff)
** one way to do this is: http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/19/Fedora/x86_64/iso/Fedora-19-x86_64-netinst.iso
** boot, choose Install Fedora, choose language; then in software selection choose "minimal install";
** this is '''not''' the default and is at the bottom of the list. Don't forget to remove the cd after installing and before rebooting.
* After a minimal install one needs to create a regular user
useradd -c 'Amahi User' -g users -G wheel yourusername
* and the password
passwd yourusername
* Install Amahi repo by hand with:
<nowiki>rpm -Uvh http://f19.amahi.org/noarch/hda-release-6.9.0-1.noarch.rpm</nowiki>
* Get the mariadb base packages (this is to avoid dependency conflicts)
yum -y install mariadb-libs mariadb-server
* If mariadb gives conflicts with mysql, uninstall all mysql stuff:
yum -y erase 'mysql*'
* Try installing both hda-ctl and hda-platform. This should install a lot of dependencies with them
yum -y install hda-ctl hda-platform
* If that works, and only if that works, try this as root:
hda-install YOUR-INSTALL-CODE
* When that fails (and it will), please fpaste the log (you may have to yum -y install fpaste). The log should be in
/root/hda-install-*.log

== Installing the Desktop ==

After this is installed, there is no desktop. You can see what groups of packages you can install with

yum group list

One of the popular ones is GNOME Desktop environment. To install that you do:

yum group install 'GNOME Desktop'

Needless to say, there are a few other environments you can choose to install besides GNOME.

== Apps ==

'''IMPORTANT''': Apps are not working yet. No apps are publicly available in Amahi 7/Fedora 19 yet. We want to keep our attention on the base system before we turn our attention to Apps, which can be very distracting.

== Greyhole ==

You can install the Greyhole stack with:

yum -y install hda-greyhole

However, you have to configure it by hand:

* set up a mysql database and user to access it
* load the schema
* initialize the basic settings for Greyhole

Here is a printable format of a draft of the Amahi Installation manual.

'''For installation instructions, please use the [http://www.amahi.org/support/instructions instructions online] to install Amahi.'''

It's only for advanced users who can navigate Linux!

This is a work in progress and it is very rough.

Amahi Edge

Sgtfoo: /* How to Get Amahi Edge Running */

{{MessageBox|
backgroundcolor = #faa|
image =Warning.png|
heading =WARNING|
message = The Amahi 7 work has moved to a new page specific for [[Amahi 7]]!}}

Amahi "edge" is the developer version of Amahi, with the very latest and greatest code in it.

It lives in the master branch of the Amahi git repo at https://github.com/amahi/platform

This page is about working notes for the latest in the development tree.

= How to Get Amahi Edge Running =

This procedure is the way to get Amahi 7 running in development. This has been tested with a clean Fedora 19 minimal install from the netinst DVD (generally without updates), though it can be done on Mac OS X as well:

# open a terminal window
# If you are running Fedora, do this as Root (<code>su</code>):
##enter the root password (not the one from the first user)
##<code>yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'</code>, or for a shorter install do:
##* <code>yum -y install make git mysql-devel sqlite-devel mysql-server gcc-c++ tar rpm-build</code>
##* <code>yum -y install ruby ruby-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel</code>
##<code>systemctl start mysqld.service</code>
## <code>gem install bundler</code>
# exit the root user and use a regular user. you will need to reinstall fedora if you skip this step :(
# if you are running on Mac OS X, install git, mysql, probably homebrew as well
# we suggest you create a new folder to put the amahi development code, then in it run:
# <code>git clone git@github.com:amahi/platform.git</code>
# <code>cd platform</code>
# <code>bundle install</code> (this will take a while and install all the necessary gems)
# <code>rake db:create</code> this will ask for the mysql root password with a prompt ">"
#* if this is a fresh Fedora 18 install, your mysql server probably does not have a password, so just press Enter
#* if you set a password for the mysql root user, type it. Note that it will show a warning and echo the password!
#* if you are re-running this step and the db is already created, you can run rake db:drop first then create it again
# <code>rake db:migrate</code> (this will get the database up to snuff)
# <code>rake db:seed</code> (this will get a basic database setup)
# rails s (this will start the rails server)

The development dashboard can be reached with your favorite browser at:

<code>http://localhost:3000</code>

There is an initial user created called <code>admin</code> with password <code>admin</code>. Login should work out of the box.

To stop the development server, just hit <code>Ctrl+C</code> in the terminal where you started the server.

== Running Tests ==

A great way to contribute is to write tests. The spec tests are in the <code>spec/</code> directory. To run them:

rake spec

It will show you one dot per test passing. It will show test fails with F and display the error.

You may need to

yum install rubygem-minitest

to get things to run properly for some reason that we did not root cause yet.

= Old, obsolete info for Amahi 6 =

First you need to get the latest git repository (see how on the [[Contribute]]-page)

After you've got the latest master branch you need to switch to the amahi-edge branch (and tell git to follow it on the remote server):

<code>git checkout amahi-edge</code>

The amahi-edge code uses a different database for it's data so we need to create one, copy the production data in it and migrate it to the new datamodel:
* Go to <code>/path/to/git/clone/platform/platform</code>
* Execute <code>./hda-create-db-and-user amahi_devel</code>
* Go to <code>/path/to/git/clone/platform/platform/html/script</code>
* Execute <code>./db-duplicate hda_production amahi_devel</code>
* Go to <code>/path/to/git/clone/platform/platform/html</code>
* Execute <code>rake db:migrate</code>

Now we have a working amahi-edge branch which can be used to develop features, gadgets, widgets and fix bugs.

To reach the amahi-edge branch you need to go to <code>/path/to/git/clone/platform/platform/html</code> and execute

<code>./script/server</code>

= How to install one Gadget =

If you have developed a new gadget or fixed some bugs on an existing one you can install it using:

* Go to <code>/path/to/git/clone/platform/platform/html</code>
* Execute <code>rake gadgets:install source=/path/to/the/gadget/source</code>, e.g.
rake gadgets:install source=../../gadgets/gadget_last_modified_files

When there are errors after installing the gadget you can uninstall it using:

* Go to <code>/path/to/git/clone/platform/platform/html</code>
* Execute <code>rake gadgets:uninstall source=/path/to/the/gadget/source</code>

= Tips =

* Start with virtual machine snapshots. Take a snapshot of your VM at the beginning, in case you have to revert, and take a snapshot as you progress through milestones.
* If you do not have a VM, take a snapshot of your development database. You can use ./script/db-duplicate and ./script/db-restore (use with care!)
* Don't forget, the Amahi forum has a section for [http://forums.amahi.org/viewforum.php?f=41 virtualization], in case you're looking for some input in that area.
