* 32-bit installs '''are not''' available nor supported in Amahi 10.
* '''NOT ALL''' apps available in Amahi 9 are fully operational for Amahi 10. Check the [https://www.amahi.org/apps App Store] before proceeding.

= Install Fedora 25=
There are two ways to install Fedora: Minimal (CD), so-called Netinstall, which is recommended, and the [[Fedora_25_Server_Install|Full (DVD) install]] for cases that need additional hardware support.
We recommend this method for a quick download and fast installation.
* Download the Fedora 25 Netinstall CD for 64 bit (484MB).
** Primary: [https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/25/Server/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-25-1.3.iso Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-25-1.3.iso]
** Alternate: [https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/25/Server/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-25-1.3.iso Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-25-1.3.iso]
* Burn the ISO to CD/DVD (or [[USB Install|USB]]), insert the media into your server, and reboot the system.
* These instructions below will guide you through the Fedora 25 Netinstall CD installation with screen shots and commentary. If you are not an advanced Linux user and know what you are doing, recommend you '''DO NOT''' deviate from the guidance. Click '''[Expand]''' to show a screen shot and '''[Collapse]''' to hide it.

= Install Amahi 10 =
Next, we will install Amahi 10 proper on top of Fedora 25.
When you reboot you will see a black screen with no graphics and a "localhost login" text prompt. Login into that that console directly with the user you created. (You can also use SSH to login remotely from a client if you know how.)
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 (logged in with the user created in the Fedora 25 installation), become ''root'' for the Amahi installation. When prompted for a password, it's your user password you set in the Fedora 25 install.<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 three separate commands (one per line) 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://f25.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 installs the Amahi F25 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 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
* This is a headless server, therefore it will boot to a text console. There is no desktop user interface.
* 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.
