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!)
  • 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

  • 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 -

Install Amahi

  • Install Amahi repo:
  rpm -Uvh http://f21.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
  • Install Amahi platform (NOTE: Should install several packages)
   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
  • If all goes well, it should tell you to reboot

Expectations

  • 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 and enter a dashboard password for the admin user you created
  • Optionall refer to Greyhole to install/configure storage pooling.
