= Desktop Installation Amahi 8/9 =
For TigerVNC to work a Desktop Environment must be installed even if the HDA does not boot to the selected Desktop Environment.
This installation guidance is based on a clean installation of Amahi 8 or 9, installing Fedora 21/23 using the [https://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/[Amahi_8_Install |Fedora 21 Server DVD]/] or [[https://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Amahi_9_Install |Fedora 23 Server DVD] and following the installation instructions [https://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Fedora_21_Server_Install Fedora 21 Server Install ]/[https://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Fedora_23_Server_Install Fedora 23 Server Install ]. The Cinnamon Desktop Environment was selected as it operates well on low spec computers. I will attempt other desktop environments over next few months. For Amahi 9 on Fedora 23 , LXDE works. It has an extremely small footprint (~40Mb) and operates extremely well on old hardware. <div style="border: 1px solid #A3B1BF; padding: .8em 1em; background-color: #E6F2FF; margin: 0px 1em;">'''NOTE:''' The one-click [https://www.amahi.org/apps/vnc VNC App] has been discontinued for Amahi 7 or greater.
