Burn the ISO to DVD, insert the DVD into your server, reboot the system, and follow the [[Fedora 21 Server Install]] instructions.
=== USB Install ===
You may follow the Ref: [[USB Installhttps://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1871 Amahi Bug #1871]] guidance for USB installs using one of the ISO images above if needed.
== Install Amahi 8 ==
Next, install Amahi 8 proper on top of Fedora 21.
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 21 installation and become ''root'' for the Amahi installation<br />
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
* 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)* For best results, it's recommended that you [[Turning_off_DHCP_in_your_router|turn off the previous DHCP server]] and let Amahi handle DHCP so that DNS falls into place automatically. If not, then you must [[Turning_off_DHCP|turn off the HDA DHCP server]].* [[RenewIP|Reboot all clients]] (or turn off network and turn back on) to get them to use DHCP leases from your Amahi server* The first time it will initialize, ask you to login, and enter a dashboard password for . This is the admin user First Admin User created earlierin the Fedora 21 installation.
* 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.
