	WARNING
	This is only for developers. CentOS for Amahi is currently ON HOLD!

Objective

Configure and test installation of Amahi 9 with CentOS 7.2 for potential adoption for the next Amahi release. This is ONLY for development testing by the Amahi staff!

To Do

Create Amahi repo
~~Create apps for C7~~
~~Test Apps (only phpSysInfo has been tested)~~
Build Amahi-specific RPMs (amahi-anywhere, amahi-greyhole, amahi-plex, amahi-sync, amahi-netboot)
Test Netinstall method
~~Build apps testbot~~
Create custom Amahi CentOS 7 ISO (see Create Custom Centos 7 Kickstart boot CD ISO)
Determine solution to missing packages (from repos) for some applications

Installation

CentOS 7

Download CentOS 7.2:

Netinstall ISO (376MB):
- HTTP - CentOS-7-x86_64-NetInstall-1511.iso
- Torrent - CentOS-7-x86_64-NetInstall-1511.torrent
Minimal ISO (603MB):
- HTTP - CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-1511.iso
- Torrent - CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-1511.torrent

Follow the CentOS 7 Minimal Server install guidance using Minimal ISO and create a user (DON'T set root password).

Amahi

Installation must be done as root user.

Install dependencies:

yum install epel-release nano psmisc wget
yum install gcc mysql-devel ruby-devel rubygems

Download custom packages:

wget http://tdstatic.net/RPMs/hda-ctl-7.0.0-1.x86_64.rpm
wget  http://tdstatic.net/RPMs/hda-platform-9.0.0-1.x86_64.rpm
wget  http://tdstatic.net/RPMs/rubygem-mysql2-0.4.4-1.x86-64.rpm
wget  http://tdstatic.net/RPMs/rubygem-ruby-dbus-0.11.1-1.noarch.rpm

Install custom packages:

yum localinstall hda-ctl-7.0.0-1.x86_64.rpm 
yum localinstall hda-platform-9.0.0-1.x86_64.rpm
yum localinstall rubygem-mysql2-0.4.4-1.x86-64.rpm
yum localinstall rubygem-ruby-dbus-0.11.1-1.noarch.rpm

Install Ruby Gems:

gem install mysql2 ruby-dbus

Install Amahi:

hda-install INSTALL_CODE

Known Issues

rubygem-mysql2 and rubygem-ruby-dbus packages not available in CentOS or EPEL repo
Dashboard reflects MariaDB server not running (Bug #1802)
Not all app dependencies available in CentOS or EPEL repo (i.e. calibre is not)
Missing packages affects some apps
- PHP 5.5 not available in the CentOS or EPEL repo (see PHP 5.5) as
- RPM Fusion Repos do not appear available for CentOS 7 (see RPM Fusion)
RepoForge (formerly RPMForge) does not appear to be a solution to replace RPM Fusion. It's outdated and research indicates it's a dead project.

Bug Reports

See Amahi Bug #2081 for development progress.

Development Notes

Install of CentOS 7.2 Minimal ISO is the only tested method
Procedures for Amahi install have not been sufficiently tested
Platform (Bug #1386) checklist was completed with no issues
