Installing Amahi 7 for Testing
NOTE: for installing Amahi 7 for development, visit the Fedora 18 page
- Install Fedora 18 minimal, 32 or 64 bits (not desktop, though we think desktop may work as it includes more stuff)
- one way to do this is: http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/18/Fedora/i386/iso/Fedora-18-i386-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:
rpm -Uvh http://f18.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 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
- Amahi Tester Tip: If you are running Amahi in a non-virtual environment you could try using the "CloneZilla" disk imaging and cloning software. "Backing up" of the installed configuration could be done to an external USB drive. Tester used the "Live CD" version.
- If the repo is updated (and it does update often during alpha like now), your machine may have cached the old repo details. You may have to do this first to re-get the repo metadata:
yum clean all
- Then get the mariadb base packages (this is to avoid dependency conflicts) and the Amahi packages with
yum -y install mariadb-libs mariadb-server 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
Working Apps
IMPORTANT: Apps are in testing. No apps are publicly available in Amahi 7/Fedora 18
Broken Apps:
- VNC: No service hooks. Needs yum group install "GNOME Desktop" (or yum group install "Basic X Window System")
