| − | There are two ways to install Fedora: Minimal (CD), so-called Netinstall, which is recommended, and the [[Fedora_27_Server_Install|Full (DVD) install]] for cases that need additional hardware support.
| + | You need to obtain an install code (later referred to as YOUR-INSTALL-CODE) 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. |

| − | 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
| + | = Install Method = |
| − | * This is a headless server, therefore it will boot to a text console. There is no desktop user interface. '''Installing the Desktop (e.g. GNOME) interface will break DNS/DHCP and make the HDA as an unsuitable network server''' [[Amahi_8_Troubleshooting#Virtualization_Stack_Breaks_DNS.2FDHCP_Server|(details)]] | + | There are three methods for installing Amahi 11 in the order preferred: |
| − | * It's strongly recommended you follow the [[transition to Amahi]] HDA guide to get your network fully working properly
| + | * [[Fedora_27_Server_CD_Install|Minimal CD]] (a.k.a. Netinstall is best option) |
| − | * 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)
| + | * [[Fedora_27_Server_DVD_Install|Full DVD]] (provides additional hardware support when Netinstall fails) |
| − | * The first time it will initialize, ask you to login, and enter a dashboard password.
| + | * [[Amahi_11_Express_DVD_Install|Express DVD]] (quickest option, but not customizable and last resort) |
| − | * 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. | |
