'''NOTES:'''* The only '''officially supported''' install media is Fedora 27 Server.* Ensure your system meets the [http://docs.amahi.org/requirements.html minimum hardware requirements] for Amahi before proceeding. * 32-bit installs '''are not''' available nor supported in Amahi 11.* '''NOT ALL''' apps in previous Amahi versions are available for Amahi 11. Check the [https://www.amahi.org/apps App Store] before proceeding.* You must install Fedora 27 Server prior to installing Amahi 11.  For assistance, visit the [https://forums.amahi.org Amahi Forums] or live support on the [http://talk.amahi.org Amahi IRC channel]. = Install Fedora 27=There are two ways to install Fedora: Minimal (CD), so-called Netinstall, which is recommended, and the [[Fedora_27_Server_DVD_Install|Full (DVD) install]] for cases that need additional hardware support. We recommend this method for a quick download and fast installation. * Fedora 27 Server Netinstall CD for 64 bit (484MB)** Primary: [https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/27/Server/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-27-1.6.iso Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-27-1.6.iso]** Alternate: [https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/27/Server/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-27-1.6.iso Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-27-1.6.iso] * Burn the ISO to CD/DVD (or [[USB Install|USB]]), insert the media into your server, and reboot the system. * These instructions below have will guide you through the Fedora 27 Netinstall CD installation with screen shots and commentary.
