−
** 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:
 
−
  <nowiki>rpm -Uvh http://f19.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
 
−
* 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

One of the popular ones is GNOME Desktop environment. To install that you do:

'''IMPORTANT''': Some apps are not working yet. There are a limited number of apps  publicly available in Amahi 7/Fedora 19. We want to keep our attention on the base system before we turn our attention to Apps, which can be very distracting.

Currently there is no Dashboard add-on to setup and configure Greyhole for Amahi 7.  This must be done manually using the following guidance as [[Open_Terminal_as_root|root user]]:
 
−
 
 
−
* Install the package (to get the latest version, follow [https://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Greyhole_updating#Option_2_-_Manually_install_the_latest_RPM upgrade guidance]):
 
−
  yum -y install hda-greyhole
 
−
 
 
−
* Set up a mysql database and user to access it:
 
−
  hda-create-db-and-user greyhole
 
−
 
 
−
* Load the database schema:
 
−
  mysql -u greyhole -pgreyhole  greyhole < /usr/share/greyhole/schema-mysql.sql
 
−
 
 
−
Initialize the basic settings for Greyhole, configure /etc/greyhole.conf:
 
−
* Change <u>db_user</u> and <u>db_password</u> to <i>greyhole</i>.<br />
 
−
* Add a line for each drive (go [[Adding_a_second_hard_drive_to_your_HDA|here]] for adding new hard drives) in the storage pool at the end of the file.  The example below is for two drives:
 
−
    storage_pool_drive = /var/hda/files/drives/drive2/gh, min_free: 10gb
 
−
    storage_pool_drive = /var/hda/files/drives/drive3/gh, min_free: 10gb<br />
 
−
* Now configure the number of copies per share.  The example below sets the shares as follows:
 
−
** Books for max copies (which is 1 for 2 drives)
 
−
** Pictures for 1 copy (which is the same as max)
 
−
** Movies for no copies
 
−
    num_copies[Books] = 999
 
−
    num_copies[Pictures] = 2
 
−
    num_copies[Movies] = 1
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
<b>NOTE:</b>  For a system with 2 Greyhole drives, 1 copy is the max.  The first Greyhole drive holds the master copy and the second a copy.  The share will contain a symbolic link to the master.
 
−
 
 
−
* In the Dashboard, Shares tab add the following to <b>Extra Parameters</b> for each share you will be configuring to use Greyhole:
 
−
  dfree command = /usr/bin/greyhole-dfree
 
−
  vfs objects = greyhole
 
−
 
 
−
* Finally, enable greyhole permanently and start the service:
 
−
  systemctl enable greyhole.service
 
−
  systemctl start greyhole.service
 
−
 
 
−
* You can monitor activity by watching /var/log/greyhole.log file:
 
−
  tail -f /var/log/greyhole.log
