Can I install Amahi on Ubuntu?

The long term goal for Amahi is to be a "consumer" product rather than "for geeks only." This is why the Amahi home server is managed through a web 2.0 browser based interface and is designed to run headless. Of course file sharing and related activites are supported cross platform - Linux, Windows and Mac.

The underlying distribution that Amahi is currently built on is Fedora.

There are frequent requests to make an Ubuntu version available - but to date there are not enough "pro-Ubuntu" developers ready to commit to make this happen. As developers get involved they realize that the underlying distribution does not impact the end user experience.

Since Amahi is designed to run headless there is no tangible benefit to port to Ubuntu - the development time is better spent improving Amahi.

With that said - if you are ready to lead the effort, let us know and the team will help get you started (and connect you with those who have expressed interest in helping develop Amahi for Ubuntu.)
