Install Fedora

  • Install Fedora 19 minimal (NOT the Desktop):
    • Boot, choose Install Fedora, choose language; then in software selection choose minimal install

  • Install the Amahi repo by hand with:
  rpm -Uvh http://f19.amahi.org/noarch/hda-release-6.9.0-1.noarch.rpm
  • Get the mariadb base packages (this is to avoid dependency conflicts)
  yum -y install mariadb-libs mariadb-server
  • Try installing both hda-ctl and hda-platform. This should install a lot of dependencies with them
   yum -y install hda-ctl hda-platform
  • If that works, ```and only if that works```, so the Amahi install (also as root; replace YOUR-INSTALL-CODE with the code you set up in Amahi.org):
  hda-install YOUR-INSTALL-CODE
  • If that fails, check the Express Disc troubleshooting page. For help, please fpaste the log (you may have to yum -y install fpaste). The log should be in
 /root/hda-install-*.log
