Steps for installing Amahi 7, 32bits edition:
- Install Fedora 19 minimal, 32bits (desktop should work OK, LiveCD may not work, but only minimal is recommended)
- 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 DVD after installing and before rebooting.
- Do the selection of the hard drive partitioning that you need
- Do not change the hostname (it may create issues)
- Click on ``Begin Installation`` and the installer will proceed
- Create an admin user. Make sure it's an admin user. No need to create a root password.
- After a minimal install one needs to login as root first (in a text console)
- Login with the admin user and become root for the rest of the installation
sudo su -
- Install the 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 packages first (and then try the line above):
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```, so the Amahi install (also as root; replace YOUR-INSTALL-CODE with the code you set up in Amahi.org):
hda-install YOUR-INSTALL-CODE
- If that fails, please fpaste the log (you may have to yum -y install fpaste). The log should be in
/root/hda-install-*.log
- If all goes well, it should tell you to reboot
- It will boot with the static IP you preconfigured in the Amahi control panel
- It's strongly recommended that you turn off the previous DHCP server and let Amahi handle DHCP so that DNS falls into place
- Reboot all the clients to get them to use your Amahi server
- Your Amahi dashboard should be at http://hda/
- The first time it will initialize and will ask you to login to create a dashboard password for the admin user you created
