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.
