= Install Fedora 21 = There are two ways to install Fedora: Minimal (CD), so-called Netinstall, which is recommended, and the [[Fedora_21_Server_Install|Full (DVD) install]] for cases that need additional hardware support. We recommend this method for a quick download and fast installation. * Download the Fedora 21 Netinstall CD for 64 bit (424MB).** Primary: [http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/21/Server/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-21.iso Fedora 21 Netinstall 64-bit] (http)** Alternate: [https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/21/Server/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-21.iso Fedora 21 Netinstall 64-bit] (http) * Burn the ISO to CD (DVD or [[USB Install|USB]]), insert the media into your server, and reboot the system. * These instructions below will guide you through the Fedora 21 Netinstall CD installation with screen shots and commentary.

Ref: [https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1871 Amahi Bug #1871] == Install Amahi 8 ==
Next, install Amahi 8 proper on top of Fedora 21.
You need to obtain an install code (denoted YOUR-INSTALL-CODE below) from the [https://www.amahi.org/users Amahi control panel] after configuring a profile for the system you are installing, with '''proper network configuration''' for your network.
From text console or using SSH, login with the user created in the Fedora 21 installation and become ''root'' for the Amahi installation<br />

After that, type these commands in the console:
<div style="border: 1px solid #A3B1BF; padding: .5em 1em; color: #000; background-color: #E6F2FF; margin: 3px 3px 1em 3px; text-align: left">
<nowiki>rpm -Uvh http://f21.amahi.org/noarch/hda-release-6.9.0-1.noarch.rpm</nowiki>
yum -y install mariadb-libs mariadb-server
yum -y install rsyslog avahi
yum -y install hda-ctl hda-platform
hda-install YOUR-INSTALL-CODE
What this does is this: Installs the Amahi F21 repo, gets the mariadb base packages to avoid dependency conflicts, and installs base Amahi packages (that part should install several packages).
If there are no errors, install Amahi (replace ''YOUR-INSTALL-CODE'' above with install code from the you got when creating a profile at [https://www.amahi.org/users your Amahi control panel]). If all goes well, it should tell you to reboot. Go ahead and reboot! Once it comes back from the reboot, you should have a fully functional home server using the IP address you set up in your network! Next you need to transition your network to use it! = Transitioning to your Amahi server = Once installed, you will want to transition your network to using your Amahi server. Here are some of the things you should know: * Your server will boot with the static IP you pre-configured in the Amahi control panel* This is a headless server, therefore it will boot to a text console. There is no desktop user interface.* It's strongly recommended you follow the [[transition to Amahi]] HDA guide to get your network fully working properly* You can verify if the dashboard is available by accessing it from any client using the IP address of your server '''<nowiki>http://IPADDRESS/</nowiki>''' or '''<nowiki>http://hda/</nowiki>''' (in most Windows clients this works even without DNS from your HDA)* The first time it will initialize, ask you to login, and enter a dashboard password. This is the First Admin User created earlier in the Fedora 21 installation.* Once you reach your [[Setup|dashboard]], you should [[Storage_and_file_sharing|create shares]] as needed, [[Adding_a_second_hard_drive_to_your_HDA|add more drives]], install apps, etc., etc.* Optionally refer to [[Greyhole#Amahi_7.2F8|Greyhole]] to install/configure storage pooling.
= Transitioning to use your Amahi server Reference =* It will boot with the static IP you pre-configured in the Amahi control panel* You can verify if the dashboard is available by accessing from any client using the IP address of your server '''<nowiki>http://IPADDRESS/</nowiki>''' or '''<nowiki>http://hda/</nowiki>''' (in some windows clients)* 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 (or turn off network and turn it back on) to get them to use DHCP leases from your Amahi server* The first time it will initialize, ask you Refer to login, and enter a dashboard password for the admin user created earlier* Once you reach your dashboard, you should create shares as needed, add more drives, install apps, etc., etc.* Optionally refer to [[Greyhole#Amahi_7|GreyholeHDA Admin How To]] to install/configure storage poolingpage for Amahi Server administrator guidance.
