Installation in an existing Fedora machine

NOTE: this is NOT a recommended method to install, unless it's done on a fairly clean install of the distribution. The reason is that some things that may have been done to the machine that may affect the way Amahi behaves. The recommended method is doing it from scratch.

It is important to note that, Amahi cannot be fully uninstalled in the traditional sense, because the settings affect some subsystems across the machine and the original state of those subsystems is not preserved.

Regardless, here are the install instructions, all of them executed as root.


Fedora 14

  • Installed standard Fedora 14, without adding an Amahi repository

1. Create /etc/yum.repos.d/amahi.repo as root user and include following text:

[amahi]
name=Amahi repository for Fedora $releasever
baseurl=http://f$releasever.amahi.org/
gpgcheck=0
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-amahi

2. We must tell it to use the Amahi repo:

yum clean all

3. Lets make sure its working (Answer NO, we do not want to update all):

yum update

4. Install the Amahi pieces and dependencies (173MB/65 packages; Answer YES):

yum install hda-suite
  • Installer takes a few minutes to download the packages.
  • A Warning about GPG keys appears after download, asnwer YES here:

 Importing GPG key 0x97A1071F:

 From   : /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-i386
 Is this ok [y/N]:
  • Install takes a few minutes, ends with a Complete! message.
  • Start the Amahi web installer:
service amahi-installer start



Fedora 12

1. Install the hda-release

rpm -Uvh <latest_rpm repo="amahi-f12" rpm="hda-release" arch="noarch" output="url" />

2. Install hdactl (64 or 32bit)

  • 32bit
rpm -Uvh --nodeps <latest_rpm repo="amahi-f12" rpm="hdactl" arch="i386" output="url" />
  • 64bit
rpm -Uvh --nodeps <latest_rpm repo="amahi-f12" rpm="hdactl" arch="x86_64" output="url" />

3. Now install hda-platform

rpm -Uvh --nodeps <latest_rpm repo="amahi-f12" rpm="hda-platform" arch="noarch" output="url" />

4. Install dependencies:

yum -y install rubygems ruby-libs ruby-mysql

5. Start the Amahi installer.

service amahi-installer start

6. And last but not least, get the installer going by accessing it with a browser at http://localhost:2000


NOTE: If after starting the install via the web interface (http://localhost:2000) you accidently kill the terminal window in which you started the 'service ' from, it does appear to complete OK.

From time to time this method may miss some dependencies. At the end, try this as root:

rpm -Va  --nofiles

In both cases,
