NOTE: Ensure your system meets the requirements for Amahi before proceeding. Currently there is NO Express CD/DVD available.

Download

Download the Fedora 21 Server DVD (full DVD) for 64 bits (32-bits IS NOT available for Amahi!)
- Fedora 21 Server 64-bit (http)
- Fedora 21 Server 64-bit (torrent)
Server Network Install and LIVE Workstation DVD may work, but ONLY full Server DVD with minimal install is officially supported.

NOTE: USB install using the above methods has not been tested.

Install Fedora 21 minimal (NOT Desktop):
- 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.
Choose the hard drive partitioning scheme
DON'T change the hostname (it may create issues)
Click on Begin Installation and the installer will proceed
Create a user with a password. Make sure it's an admin user. Recommend creating a root password.
Once install completes, don't forget to remove the DVD after installing and before rebooting.
Upong reboot, login as root first (in a text console)
Login with the user and become root for the Amahi installation

 sudo su -

  rpm -Uvh http://f21.amahi.org/noarch/hda-release-6.9.0-1.noarch.rpm

  yum -y install mariadb-libs mariadb-server

   yum -y install hda-ctl hda-platform

If there are no errors, install Amahi (Replace YOUR-INSTALL-CODE with install code from the Amahi web site):

  hda-install YOUR-INSTALL-CODE

It will boot with the static IP you preconfigured in the Amahi control panel
You can verify if the dashboard is available by accessing from any client using the IP address.
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 available 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
Optionall refer to Greyhole to install/configure storage pooling.
