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.

Prepare USB Stick

Download Unetbootin: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/unetbootin-windows-latest.exe Unetbootin is a standalone executable so doesn't need to be installed. You will need admin rights. Make sure you have a USB stick with enough space in your machine, then execute UNetbootin. In the UNetbootin window for Distribution select Fedora and 19_Live (32-bit) or 19_Live_X64 (64-bit) depending on your system.

Make sure under type at the bottom, "USB Drive" is selected and that next to Drive it shows your USB stick, else you run the risk of overwriting your data. Once UNetbootin finishes, don’t reboot, just exit.

Remove your USB stick and insert it in your server. Boot your server using USB.

Select Fedora installation to hard drive and configure as desired. Be sure to either set a root password and/or create a user and make it admin.

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.
