Steps for installing Amahi 7, 32bits edition:

  • Install Fedora 19 minimal, 32bits (desktop should work OK, LiveCD may not work, but only minimal is recommended)
    • boot, choose Install Fedora, choose language; then in software selection choose "minimal install";
    • this is not the default and is at the bottom of the list. Don't forget to remove the DVD after installing and before rebooting.
  • After a minimal install one needs to login as root first (in a text console)
  • Then create a regular user (replace ``Amahi User`` with your name and `yourusername` with a username of your choice)
   useradd -c 'Amahi User' -g users -G wheel yourusername
  • and set the password
   passwd yourusername
  • Next, 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
  • If mariadb gives conflicts with mysql, uninstall all mysql packages first (and then try the line above):
  yum -y erase 'mysql*'
  • 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, please fpaste the log (you may have to yum -y install fpaste). The log should be in
 /root/hda-install-*.log
