Self-install-existing
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
- *DO NOT INSTALL UPDATES*
- Installed standard Fedora 14, but did not add the Amahi repository.
1. Create /etc/yum.repos.d/amahi.repo as root user and include following text:
| 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:
| bash code |
|---|
yum clean all
|
3. Lets make sure its working (Answer NO, we do not want to update all):
| bash code |
|---|
yum update
|
4. Update dhclient:
| bash code |
|---|
yum -y update dhclient
|
5. Install the Amahi pieces and dependencies (173MB/65 packages; Answer YES):
| bash code |
|---|
yum install hda-suite
|
- Installer takes a few minutes to download the packages.
- A Warning about GPG keys appears after download, answer YES here:
... (64/65): samba-3.5.6-69.fc14.i686.rpm | 5.0 MB 00:03 (65/65): wol-0.7.1-4.fc12.i686.rpm | 38 kB 00:00 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 253 kB/s | 56 MB 03:48 warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID 97a1071f: NOKEY fedora/gpgkey | 3.2 kB 00:00 ... Importing GPG key 0x97A1071F: Userid : Fedora (14) <fedora@fedoraproject.org> Package: fedora-release-14-1.noarch (@anaconda-InstallationRepo-201010211814.i386) 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.
6. Start the Amahi web installer:
| bash code |
|---|
service amahi-installer start
|
7. Goto: http://localhost:2000 to complete install. You can get your Install Code by logging into http://amahi.org and going to your control panel.
In both cases,
- Replace YOURINSTALLCODE with your install code, obviously
- Report bugs in the platform category!
- Save the output and paste it to the bug report.
