This is a quick guide on how to install manually the PlexMediaServer (not the Amahi web app) on Amahi 7 or greater (Fedora). Find out the latest version by checking '''<nowiki>https://plex.tv/downloads</nowiki>''' and copy the link under the Fedora icon. Note that PlexPass users occassionally have access to preview versions of Plex that may contain additional functionality not yet released to other users. Use the toggle to download the preview release if you have a PlexPass.
* Install the current Plex serverversion from the link above, where x.x.x.x-xxxxxxx is the current version (1.2.2.2857-d34b464 at October 2017)
:<u>64-bit</u>
<pre>wget <nowiki>https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-media-server/0x.9x.12x.4.1192x-9a47d21xxxxxxx/plexmediaserver-0x.9x.12x.4.1192x-9a47d21xxxxxxx.x86_64.rpm</nowiki>sudo yum localinstall plexmediaserver-0.9x.12x.4x.1192x-9a47d21xxxxxxx.x86_64.rpm</pre>
:<u>32-bit</u>
<pre>wget <nowiki>https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-media-server/0x.9x.12x.4.1192x-9a47d21xxxxxxx/plexmediaserver-0x.9x.12x.4.1192x-9a47d21xxxxxxx.i386.rpm</nowiki>sudo yum localinstall plexmediaserver-0.9x.12x.4x.1192x-9a47d21xxxxxxx.i386.rpm</pre>
* Start the service: Next up we actually have to start Plex, the following command will do just that as well as create a symlink to always start Plex at boot.
:<b>NOTE:</b> Don't forget if you are using Greyhole, that in this case you have always to use your files "inside" from the [[Mount_Shares_Locally|mounted local files]]
* Either by auto update (done so around midnight), or if you ask manually for updating the system, amahi will replace the original PlexMediaServer package with it's own amahi-plex (webapp). In order to prevent that you have to exclude the auto-update in the amahi-repo. Edit (as root) /etc/yum.conf (as rootAmahi 8) or /etc/dnf/dnf.conf (Amahi 9) and add the following at the bottom:
exclude=amahi-plex
