Installing Amahi 7 for Testing

NOTE: for installing Amahi 7 for development, visit the Fedora 18 page

• Install Fedora 18 minimal, 32 or 64 bits (not desktop/LiveCD, though we think desktop may work as it includes more stuff)
  
  • one way to do this is: http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/18/Fedora/i386/iso/Fedora-18-i386-netinst.iso
  • 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 cd after installing and before rebooting.
• After a minimal install one needs to create a regular user

   useradd -c 'Amahi User' -g users -G wheel yourusername

• and the password

   passwd yourusername

• Install Amahi repo by hand with:

  rpm -Uvh http://f18.amahi.org/noarch/hda-release-6.9.0-1.noarch.rpm

• Get the mariadb base packages (this is to avoid dependency conflicts)

  yum -y install mariadb-libs mariadb-server

• If mariadb gives conflicts with mysql, uninstall all mysql stuff:

  yum -y erase 'mysql*'

• 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, try this as root:

  hda-install YOUR-INSTALL-CODE

• When that fails (and it will), please fpaste the log (you may have to yum -y install fpaste). The log should be in

 /root/hda-install-*.log
