Current state
We just started porting Amahi to Ubuntu. The support is highly experimental. There are a few important things to be fixed before you can run it with minimal tweaking. Please don't try it on a production server yet. We are using Ubuntu 9.04 (jaunty) Desktop 32 bit for development. We strongly recommend you to use the same for experiments. You can download this version from here.
Requirements
You may want to have two different installations of Ubuntu.
- A development platform, running Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop 32 bit with the recommended development packages installed.
- An Amahi sandbox, running Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop 32 bit preferably under VirtualBox.
Please don't install the Amahi packages on the development platform as this might break your networking.
Setting up the development platform
- Install Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop 32 bit.
- Install essential build toolchain. # sudo aptitude install build-essential
- Install git. # sudo aptitude install git-core
- Read Ubuntu packaging guide to get an idea of other additional packages that you may want to install to create Ubuntu packages. I will list the packages to make your part easier at a later point.
Setting up the Amahi sandbox
- Install Sun VirtualBox. # sudo aptitude install virtualbox-ose
- Open VirtualBox and create a new guest platform for Ubuntu and install Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop 32 bit.
- Install VirtualBox guest additions in your Amahi sandbox.
- Setup VirtualBox folder sharing between your development platform and Amahi sandbox.
Amahi source code
On your development platform, download Amahi source code from our git repository.
