'''Install the Amahi release for Fedora 12'''
 
 
 
1. Install the hda-release
 
* <small><code>rpm -Uvh <latest_rpm repo="amahi-f12" rpm="hda-release" arch="noarch" output="url" /></code></small>
 
 
 
2. Install hdactl (64 or 32bit)
 
* 32bit - <small><code>rpm -Uvh --nodeps <latest_rpm repo="amahi-f12" rpm="hdactl" arch="i386" output="url" /></code></small>
 
* 64bit - <small><code>rpm -Uvh --nodeps <latest_rpm repo="amahi-f12" rpm="hdactl" arch="x86_64" output="url" /></code></small>
 
 
 
3. Now install <code>hda-platform</code>
 
* <small><code>rpm -Uvh --nodeps <latest_rpm repo="amahi-f12" rpm="hda-platform" arch="noarch" output="url" /></code></small>
 
 
 
4. Install dependencies:
 
* <small><code>yum -y install rubygems ruby-libs ruby-mysql</code></small>
 
 
 
5. Start the Amahi installer.
 
* <small><code>service amahi-installer start</code></small>
 
 
 
6. And last but not least, get the installer going by accessing it with a browser:
 
      <code><nowiki>http://localhost:2000</nowiki></code>
 
 
 
Note: If after starting the install via the web interface (<code><nowiki>http://localhost:2000</nowiki></code>) you accidently kill the terminal window in which you started the 'service ' from, it does appear to complete OK.

'''Install the Amahi release for Fedora 10'''
 
 
 
1. Install the hda-release
 
* <small><code>rpm -Uvh <latest_rpm repo="amahi-f10" rpm="hda-release" arch="noarch" output="url" /></code></small>
 
 
 
2. Install hdactl (64 or 32bit)

3. Now install <code>hda-suite</code>
 
* <small><code>yum -y install hda-suite</code></small>
 
   
 
4. And last but not least, install Amahi and answer "yes" to reboot.
 
* <small><code>hda-install YOURINSTALLCODE</code></small>

* First, update to Fedora 9.5 ([http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2008-August/msg00012.html long story]):
 
<small><pre><nowiki>
 
    yum -y install fedora-release
 
</nowiki></pre></small>
 
* Install the Amahi release for Fedora 9
 
<small><code>rpm -Uvh <latest_rpm repo="amahi-f9" rpm="hda-release" arch="noarch" output="url" /></code></small>
 
* Then, also as full root (/usr/sbin/hda-install is not in the path otherwise), do this:
 
<small><pre><nowiki>
 
    yum -y install hda-suite
 
    hda-install -f YOURINSTALLCODE
 
</nowiki></pre></small>
 
 
 
In both cases,
 
 
 
* Replace '''YOURINSTALLCODE''' with your install code, obviously
 
* [http://bugs.amahi.org Report bugs in the platform category]!
 
* Save the output and paste it to the bug report.

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.

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.
