This page is updated as Amahi 7 on Fedora 18 development reaches release. Expect changes and some inaccuracies.


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/LiveCD, though we think desktop may work as it includes more stuff)
  • 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
  • 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
