* You must install Fedora 27 Server prior to installing Amahi 11. <br>

= Install Fedora 27Prerequisites =There are two ways You need to obtain an install Fedora: Minimal code (CDdenoted YOUR-INSTALL-CODE below), so-called Netinstall, which is recommended, and from the [[Fedora_27_Server_DVD_Install|Full (DVD) install]https://www.amahi.org/users Amahi control panel] after configuring a profile for the system you are installing, with '''proper network configuration''' for cases that need additional hardware supportyour network.
