Installing Amahi 7 for Testing
NOTE: for installing Amahi 7 for development, visit the Fedora 19 page
- Install Fedora 19 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/19/Fedora/x86_64/iso/Fedora-19-x86_64-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://f19.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
Installing the Desktop
After this is installed, there is no desktop. You can see what groups of packages you can install with
yum group list
One of the popular ones is GNOME Desktop environment. To install that you do:
yum group install 'GNOME Desktop'
Needless to say, there are a few other environments you can choose to install besides GNOME.
Apps
IMPORTANT: Apps are not working yet. No apps are publicly available in Amahi 7/Fedora 19 yet. We want to keep our attention on the base system before we turn our attention to Apps, which can be very distracting.
Greyhole
It is currently not part of the default install. We are going to make this an app/plug-in for Amahi 7. A web UI will hopefully be part of this package as well.
