** one way to do this is: http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/19/Fedora/x86_64/iso/Fedora-19-x86_64-netinst.iso
 
** 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 cd after installing and before rebooting.
 
* After a minimal install one needs to create a regular user
 
    useradd -c 'Amahi User' -g users -G wheel yourusername
 
* and the password
 
    passwd yourusername
 
* Install Amahi repo by hand with:
 
  <nowiki>rpm -Uvh http://f19.amahi.org/noarch/hda-release-6.9.0-1.noarch.rpm</nowiki>
 
* 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 stuff:
 
  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, try this as root:
 
  hda-install YOUR-INSTALL-CODE
 
* When that fails (and it will), please fpaste the log (you may have to yum -y install fpaste). The log should be in
 
  /root/hda-install-*.log

One of the popular ones is GNOME Desktop environment. To install that you do:
 
 
 
      yum group install 'GNOME Desktop'
 
 
 
Needless to say, there are a few other environments you can choose to install besides GNOME.
 
 
 
== Apps ==
 
 
 
'''IMPORTANT''': Apps are not working yet. No apps are publicly available in Amahi 7/Fedora 19 yet. We want to keep our attention on the base system before we turn our attention to Apps, which can be very distracting.
 
 
 
== Greyhole ==
 
 
 
You can install the Greyhole stack with:
 
 
 
  yum -y install hda-greyhole
 
 
 
However, you have to configure it by hand:
 
 
 
* set up a mysql database and user to access it:
 
  hda-create-db-and-user greyhole
 
* load the schema
 
  mysql -u greyhole -pgreyhole  greyhole < /usr/share/greyhole/schema-mysql.sql
 
* initialize the basic settings for Greyhole: configure /etc/greyhole.conf appropriately (that is up to your configuration)
 
* enable permanently and start the greyhole service:
 
  systemctl enable greyhole.service
 
  systemctl start greyhole.service
