Amahi 11

Install from Scratch

Download the Fedora 27 Workstation Netinstall CD for 64 bit (484MB, Checksum SHA1 10957f5e347c9ef9d0d41faee13e60c808226f7c).

• Primary: Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_64-27-1.6.iso
• Alternate: Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_64-27-1.6.iso

Burn the ISO to CD/DVD, insert the media into your server, and reboot the system.

NOTE: you can use the Fedora Media Writer for Mac, Windows or Linux to easily get the ISO image to a USB flash disk.

Fedora 27

May be able to follow the Install Fedora 25 guidance with the Fedora 27 Media. There may be some minor differences.

NOTE: Desktop will not be supported. ONLY minimal install option should be selected.

Amahi 11

Next, we will install Amahi 11 proper on top of Fedora 27.

• When you reboot you will see a black screen with no graphics and a "localhost login" text prompt. Login into that that console directly with the user and password you created in the Fedora 27 installation. (You can also use SSH to login remotely from a client if you know how)
  
  

  NOTE: Passwords do not echo characters on the screen.

• You need to obtain an install code (denoted YOUR-INSTALL-CODE below) from the Amahi control panel after configuring a profile for the system you are installing, with proper network configuration for your network.
  
  
• From text console or using SSH (logged in with the user created in the Fedora 27 installation), become root for the Amahi installation. When prompted for a password, it's your user password you set in the Fedora 27 install.
  

   sudo su -
  

• After that, type these three separate commands (one per line) in the console:

    rpm -Uvh http://f27.amahi.org/noarch/hda-release-10.5.0-1.noarch.rpm
    dnf -y install hda-ctl
    hda-install -i YOUR-INSTALL-CODE
  

What this does is installs the Amahi F27 repo, gets the mariadb base packages to avoid dependency conflicts, and installs base Amahi packages (that part should install several packages).

If there are no errors, install Amahi (replace YOUR-INSTALL-CODE above with install code you got when creating a profile at your Amahi control panel).

If all goes well, it should tell you to reboot. Go ahead and reboot!

Once it comes back from the reboot, you should have a fully functional home server using the IP address you set up in your network!

Next you need to transition your network to use it!
