Requirements
You put the hardware, Amahi puts the software. You need two main things to get your server going
- A Fedora Linux DVD from the torrents or mirrors
- A PC (or a Marvell Plug Computer) to install Amahi on
Amahi requires a an active Internet connection during installation.
Some people use Amahi headless (no video or keyboard/mouse, in the basement or the garage). Some people also use the system as a desktop.
The choice is yours!
Hardware: PC or Plug Computer
Some people like to install Amahi on the latest/fastest hardware with a lot of storage, others prefer a power-efficient and quiet PC or Plug Computer.
Amahi supports the following architectures:
- PCs with a 32-bit x86 processor
- PCs with a 64-bit x86-64 processor
- Plug Computers based on the Marvell Plug Computer architecture. We call this the Amahi Plug Edition
For the ARM architecture, Amahi supports devices based on the Marvell Plug Computer architecture and similar devices.
The default installation instructions are based on a PC, 32-bits or 64-bits. See the Amahi Plug Edition wiki for installation instructions for the ARM version.
