== Language Selection ==
<ul>
<li>Choose desired language and select ''Continue''

[[file:|600px]]
</div><br></li>
</ul>
== Installation Summary ==
<ul>
<li>The '''INSTALLATION SUMMARY''' screen will appear. It may take a few minutes to finish ''Checking software dependencies''
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:400px">
[[file:|600px]]
</div><br></li>
<li>Once complete, next choose ''INSTALLATION DESTINATION''. This is where you will select the disk drive to use.

[[file:|600px]]
</div><br></li>
</ul>
== Disk Drive Setup ==
<ul>
<li>Choose the disk drive you want to use for the Fedora installation. If you have more than one disk drive connected, '''DO NOT''' select them at this time. You will notice a ''check mark'' on the disk drive selected. Select ''I will configure partitioning'' and then choose ''Done''.
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:400px">
[[file:|600px]]
</div><br></li>
<li>Should you have existing partitions on the disk drive you will be using for the Fedora 23 installation, they will have to be removed.</li>
<ul>
<li> You should see the existing partition about half way down the screen.
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:400px">
[[file:F23CD_SS3A.PNG|250px]]
</div></li><br>
<li>Choose it to expand and display the existing partitions for deletion. Select the first partition in the list followed by the minus (-) sign.

</ul>
<li>Ensure the ''New mount points will use the following partitioning scheme:'' is changed to reflect '''Standard partition'''. Then select ''Click here to create them automatically''. We '''STRONGLY''' advise against use of LVM or setting a /home partition.
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:400px">
[[file:F23CD_SS4.PNG|600px]]
</div><br></li>
<li>The disk drive partition should look similar to this setup. For most users, then default partitioning scheme used will suffice. However, you can manually change it using the hard drive partition scheme documentation as a guide. Once complete, choose ''Done''

= Install Amahi 9 =
Next, install Amahi 9 proper on top of Fedora 23.
You need to obtain an install code (denoted YOUR-INSTALL-CODE below) from the [https://www.amahi.org/users Amahi control panel] after configuring a profile for the system you are installing, with '''proper network configuration''' for your network.
From text console or using SSH, login with the user created in the Fedora 23 installation and become ''root'' for the Amahi installation<br />
<div style="border: 1px solid #A3B1BF; padding: .5em 1em; color: #000; background-color: #E6F2FF; margin: 3px 3px 1em 3px; text-align: left">
sudo su -
</div>
After that, type these commands in the console:
<div style="border: 1px solid #A3B1BF; padding: .5em 1em; color: #000; background-color: #E6F2FF; margin: 3px 3px 1em 3px; text-align: left">
<nowiki>rpm -Uvh http://f23.amahi.org/noarch/hda-release-6.9.0-1.noarch.rpm</nowiki>
dnf -y install hda-ctl
hda-install YOUR-INSTALL-CODE
</div>
'''NOTE:''' <code>yum</code> (deprecated) has been replaced with <code>dnf</code> as the Fedora package manager.
What this does is this: Installs the Amahi F23 repo, gets the mariadb base packages to avoid dependency conflicts, and installs base Amahi packages (that part should install several packages).
If there are no errors, install Amahi (replace ''YOUR-INSTALL-CODE'' above with install code you got when creating a profile at [https://www.amahi.org/users your Amahi control panel]).
If all goes well, it should tell you to reboot. Go ahead and reboot!
Once it comes back from the reboot, you should have a fully functional home server using the IP address you set up in your network!
Next you need to transition your network to use it!
= Transitioning to using your Amahi server =
Once installed, you will want to transition your network to using your Amahi server. Here are some of the things you should know:
* Your server will boot with the static IP you pre-configured in the Amahi control panel
* It's strongly recommended you follow the [[transition to Amahi]] HDA guide to get your network fully working properly
* You can verify if the dashboard is available by accessing it from any client using the IP address of your server '''<nowiki>http://IPADDRESS/</nowiki>''' or '''<nowiki>http://hda/</nowiki>''' (in most Windows clients this works even without DNS from your HDA)
* The first time it will initialize, ask you to login, and enter a dashboard password.
* Once you reach your [[Setup|dashboard]], you should [[Storage_and_file_sharing|create shares]] as needed, [[Adding_a_second_hard_drive_to_your_HDA|add more drives]], install apps, etc., etc.
* Optionally refer to [[Greyhole#Amahi_7.2F8|Greyhole]] to install/configure storage pooling.
