NOTE: Ensure your system meets the minimum requirements for Amahi before proceeding. Currently there is NO Express CD/DVD available.

Download

NOTE: 32-bits IS NOT available nor supported for Amahi!

Install

Fedora

  • Boot, choose Install Fedora, choose language
  • Choose the hard drive partitioning scheme (ONLY select one drive)
  • 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.
  • Once install completes, don't forget to remove the DVD after installing and before rebooting.
  • Upon reboot, login with the user and become root for the Amahi installation
 sudo su -

Amahi

  • Install Amahi repo:
  rpm -Uvh http://f21.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
  • Install Amahi platform (NOTE: Should install several packages)
   yum -y install hda-ctl hda-platform
  • If there are no errors, install Amahi (Replace YOUR-INSTALL-CODE with install code from the Amahi web site):
  hda-install YOUR-INSTALL-CODE
  • If all goes well, it should tell you to reboot

Expectations

  • 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.
  • 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 http://hda
  • The first time it will initialize, ask you to login, and enter a dashboard password for the admin user created earlier
  • Optional refer to Greyhole to install/configure storage pooling.
