Amahi 7 will be the last release for 32-bit. = Install Fedora 8 =* Install Fedora 21 '''minimal''' ... '''NOT''' the Desktop:** 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 Refer to remove the DVD after installing and before rebooting.* Choose a proper [[Hard_Drive_Partition_SchemeAmahi_8_Install|hard drive partitioning schemeAmahi 8 Installation]]: THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. Avoid LVM and set extra disks separatly* '''DON'T''' change the hostname (it may create issues)* Click on ''Begin Installation'' and the installer will proceed* Create a user with a password. Make sure it's an admin user. Recommend creating a root password.* After a minimal install one needs to login as root first (in a text console)* Login with the user and become root for the rest of the installation sudo su - = Install Amahi =* Install the Amahi repo by hand with: <nowiki>rpm -Uvh http://f21.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* 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''', do 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|Express Disc troubleshooting]] page. For help, please fpaste the log (you may have to yum -y install fpaste)new installs. The log should be in /root/hda-install-*.log* If all goes well, it should tell you to reboot = Post Install Notes =* It will boot with the static IP you preconfigured in the Amahi control panel* You can verify if the dashboard is available by accessing from any client using the IP address.* It's strongly recommended that you turn off the previous DHCP server and let Amahi handle DHCP so that DNS falls into place* Reboot all the clients to get them to use your Amahi server* Your Amahi dashboard should be available at '''<nowiki>http://hda</nowiki>'''* The first time it will initialize and will ask you to login to create a dashboard password for the admin user you created
