* This is a third alpha release. Expect your machine to explode in a million pieces losing all the data.
* No graphical installer yet. Installation involves two CLI (command-line) commands
* Note that this is intended to be installed under 11.10. It also seems to work under 10.04 and 1112.04; but no warranty. It has been tested with ubuntu desktop, but server probably also should not cause problems. I suspect things like Kubuntu/Lubuntu/Gobuntu/Edubuntu/.... will also work but this is not tested. No warranty. Feel free to report results.
* No applications are available for Ubuntu yet. This is on purpose, so that we keep the focus tightly on platform stability before chasing ghosts in apps
* Only supported on Ubuntu 1112.10 04 desktop and server edition
* '''only 32bit'' is supported. x86 64bit and arm are not supported yet
* This has been also tested on Debian, but not as well as in Ubuntu
* There are '''no automatic updates or ways to update''' from your install to an eventual release or from the awxibs alpha.
* [[Greyhole]] is not yet supported
* Debian is not well supported in this release (there are a couple of known issues). We are focusing on Ubuntu only for now.

* Download Ubuntu 1112.10 04 CD/DVD* Install Ubuntu. Only 1112.10 04 has been tested. If you want to test other releases, let us know if or how they work. Aim is to move a soon as possible to 12.04LTS and stick with that one for a while.
* start a terminal
* Double check your network settings with '''<code>ifconfig</code>''' and '''<code>route -n</code>'''. These should be the settings that you use in the next step. If these are not correct you can change the ip address by issueing the command
* Make sure you have the proper network settings set up in your [http://www.amahi.org/user control panel], with one profile and one install code
* Get the installer by executing the following command in the terminal window (hint: use copy and paste):
{{Code| wget http://ubuntu.amahi.org/install.1112.10 04 }}* Then start the install with {{Code| sh install.1112.10 04 }}
The install script partially runs as root so it will ask you for your password to install those sections (there is a sudo command in the script)
After rebooting, '''<nowiki>http://hda</nowiki>''' should be working if entered on the local system. From a remote system this will only work if you have your DNS pointing to the amahi system as otherwise your system cannot resolve the name "hda".
