The officially supported instructions are at install instructions page in your control panel at amahi.org.

This page covers an unsupported install using Fedora 19 with USB boot, manual Amahi, and greyhole install.

PREREQUISITES

Create USB image (Windows)

  • Insert USB flash drive into Windows computer.
  • Run UNetbootin
  • Select Fedora for Distribution
  • Choose 19_Live (32-bit) or 19_Live_X64 (64-bit) depending on your system.
  • Verify at the bottom the drive listed is for your USB flash drive. If not, select the appropriate drive.
  • Once you are ready, choose Ok. Please be patient as this may take a while since it downloads the files and then extracts them to the USB flash drive.
  • When UNetbootin finishes, select Exit and remove the USB flash drive.

Install on Server

  • Insert the USB flash drive into your server.
  • Now boot your server using the USB flash drive.


NOTE: Some BIOS have function keys that allow you to choose the boot media. Others may require changes to the BIOS.

  • Once the Fedora screen appears, you will have two options:
    • Continue as Live session
    • Install to Hard Drive
  • Select Install to Hard Drive.
  • Configure the options as you desire, i.e. Time Zone, Hard Drive. When finished, select Continue.


NOTE: Ensure you set a root password and/or create a user and make it an administrator (recommend creating both users).

Enable SSH and Elevate Privilege

All commands in this guide are carried out in a terminal and with superuser privileges. If you are going to do this remotely you will need to enable SSH. The following will enable SSH and ensure it is started every time:

bash code
​service sshd start chkconfig sshd on​


To elevate your privileges either append sudo to each command given here (some of course won't require elevation) or do it for the whole session:

bash code
​sudo su -​


DNS

Make sure you can connect to the internet (ping google.com for example). If you can’t, try manually adding DNS servers to /etc/resolv.conf (you could add the openDNS servers for example: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220)

Install Amahi

Follow the guidance here for installing Amahi. Start with Install the Amahi repo by hand section. If you need to add additional hard drives, follow the guidance for adding additional drives. This includes procedures for the new 3 & 4 TB drives.

Install Greyhole

Currently there is no Dashboard add-on to setup and configure Greyhole for Amahi 7. This must be done manually using the Manual Greyhole Setup wiki page.

You should now have a working system.
