==Disk Drive Setup==
<div style="border: 1px solid #A3B1BF; padding: .5em 1em; color: #000; background-color: #FFB6C1; margin: 3px 3px 1em 3px;">'''WARNING:''' Amahi staff doesn't recommend using the default ''LVM'' partition scheme. Doing so will dedicate most of the drive space in the system to the ''/home'' partition. Amahi does not utilize this space, limiting storage for file shares and web applications. For best results and maximum storage, use the ''Standard'' partition scheme.</div>
<ul>
<li>Choose the disk drive you want to use for the Fedora installation. If you have more than one disk drive connected, '''DO NOT''' select them at this time. You will notice a ''check mark'' on the disk drive selected. Select ''I will configure partitioning'' and then choose ''Done''.

</div></li><br>
<li>Choose it to expand and display the existing partitions for deletion. Select the first partition in the list followed by the minus (-) sign.

<li> When prompted Are you sure you want to delete all the data on ..., choose Delete It.

</div></li><br> <li> Repeat the previous two steps until all the existing partitions on the disk drive are gone.</li><br>
</ul>
<li>Ensure the ''New mount points will use the following partitioning scheme:'' is changed to reflect '''Standard partition'''. Then select ''Click here to create them automatically''. '''STRONGLY advise against using LVM or creating a separate /home partition'''.

Next, we will install Amahi 10 proper on top of Fedora 25.
<ul>
<li>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 25 installation. (You can also use SSH to login remotely from a client if you know how)
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:400px">

</div><br><br>
<li>You need to obtain an install code (denoted YOUR-INSTALL-CODE below) from the [https://www.amahi.org/users Amahi control panel] after configuring a profile for the system you are installing, with '''proper network configuration''' for your network.<br><br>
<li>From text console or using SSH (logged in with the user created in the Fedora 25 installation), become ''root'' for the Amahi installation. When prompted for a password, it's your user password you set in the Fedora 25 install.<br />
<div style="border: 1px solid #A3B1BF; padding: .5em 1em; color: #000; background-color: #E6F2FF; margin: 3px 3px 1em 3px; text-align: left">
</div>
<li>After that, type these three separate commands (one per line) in the console:
<div style="border: 1px solid #A3B1BF; padding: .5em 1em; color: #000; background-color: #E6F2FF; margin: 3px 3px 1em 3px; text-align: left">
<nowiki>rpm -Uvh http://f25.amahi.org/noarch/hda-release-610.90.0-1.noarch.rpm</nowiki>
dnf -y install hda-ctl
hda-install YOUR-INSTALL-CODE
</div>
</ul>
What this does is installs the Amahi F25 repo, gets the mariadb base packages to avoid dependency conflicts, and installs base Amahi packages (that part should install several packages).
* Your server will boot with the static IP you pre-configured in the Amahi control panel
* This is a headless server, therefore it will boot to a text console. There is no desktop user interface.'''Installing the Desktop (e.g. GNOME) interface will break DNS/DHCP and make the HDA as an unsuitable network server''' [[Amahi_8_Troubleshooting#Virtualization_Stack_Breaks_DNS.2FDHCP_Server|(details)]]
* It's strongly recommended you follow the [[transition to Amahi]] HDA guide to get your network fully working properly
* You can verify if the dashboard is available by accessing it from any client using the IP address of your server '''<nowiki>http://IPADDRESS/</nowiki>''' or '''<nowiki>http://hda/</nowiki>''' (in most Windows clients this works even without DNS from your HDA)
