Burn the ISO to CD/DVD (or [[USB Install|USB]]), insert the media into your server, reboot the system, and follow the [[Fedora 21 Live LXDE Install]] instructions.
= 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 />

sudo su -
</div>
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 hda-ctl hda-platform
hda-install YOUR-INSTALL-CODE
</div>
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 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 using 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
* 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.
