This page is about the '''ALPHA''' release of Amahi 8 (Fedora 21).
 
 
 
= Prerequisites =
 
* Ensure your system meets the [[Requirements|minimum requirements]] for Amahi before proceeding ('''NOTE:'''  64-bits '''ONLY''')
 
 
 
* There is '''NO''' Express Disc available (we may build one later)
 
 
 
* Download the Fedora 21 Server DVD (full DVD) for 64 bits
 
**Primary:
 
*** [https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mirrormanager/mirrors/Fedora/21/x86_64 Fedora 21 Server 64-bit] (http)
 
*** [https://torrent.fedoraproject.org/torrents/Fedora-Server-DVD-x86_64-21.torrent Fedora 21 Server 64-bit] (torrent)
 
**Alternate:
 
*** [http://dl.amahi.org/isos/Fedora-Server-DVD-x86_64-21.iso Fedora 21 Server 64-bit] (http)
 
*** [http://dl.amahi.org/isos/Fedora-Server-DVD-x86_64-21.torrent Fedora 21 Server 64-bit] (torrent)
 
 
 
* Server Network Install and LIVE Workstation DVD ''may'' work, but '''ONLY''' full Server DVD with minimal install is officially supported
 
 
 
* 32-bit '''IS NOT''' supported!  Amahi 7 will be the last release for 32-bit.
 
 
 
= Install Fedora =
 
* Install Fedora 21 '''minimal''' ... '''NOT''' the Desktop:
 
** 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 DVD after installing and before rebooting.
 
* Choose a proper [[Hard_Drive_Partition_Scheme|hard drive partitioning scheme]]: THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. Avoid LVM and set extra disks separatly
 
* '''DON'T''' change the hostname (it may create issues)
 
* Click on ''Begin Installation'' and the installer will proceed
 
* Create a user with a password. Make sure it's an admin user. Recommend creating a root password.
 
* After a minimal install one needs to login as root first (in a text console)
 
* Login with the user and become root for the rest of the installation
 
  sudo su -
 
 
 
= Install Amahi =
 
* Install the Amahi repo by hand with:
 
  <nowiki>rpm -Uvh http://f21.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
 
* 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''', do the Amahi install (also as root; replace YOUR-INSTALL-CODE with the code you set up in Amahi.org):
 
  hda-install YOUR-INSTALL-CODE
 
* If that fails, check the [[Express_Disc_troubleshooting|Express Disc troubleshooting]] page. For help, please fpaste the log (you may have to yum -y install fpaste). The log should be in
 
  /root/hda-install-*.log
 
* If all goes well, it should tell you to reboot
 
 
 
= Post Install Notes =
 
* It will boot with the static IP you preconfigured in the Amahi control panel
 
* You can verify if the dashboard is available by accessing from any client using the IP address.
 
* It's strongly recommended that you turn off the previous DHCP server and let Amahi handle DHCP so that DNS falls into place
 
* Reboot all the clients to get them to use your Amahi server
 
* Your Amahi dashboard should be available at '''<nowiki>http://hda</nowiki>'''
 
* The first time it will initialize and will ask you to login to create a dashboard password for the admin user you created
 
 
 
= Upgrading from Amahi 7/F19 =

= How to Help =
 
There are several ways to help:
 
* If you are a contributor, make sure you get a machine running with Amahi 8 and get your apps to run on it
 
* If you want to test the install, get a VM and an ISO file of the base OS and let's test! This is probably the best way to help without deep technical knowledge.
 
* If you want to help with the platform, get in the Amahi [[Mailing list]] and get some patches going. Ruby and RoR can help here.
 
* Testing and porting  themes will also help
 
* Want to develop a new theme? Check the [[How to Create a new Theme]] page
 
* Stop by and hang out on our IRC Channel #Amahi on irc.freenode.net
