the Fedora Downloads. The landing page lists all available Editions, Spins, Labs, etc. as described in <a href="../getting-started/" class="xref page">Getting started</a>, and links to the proper details pages. Navigate to the page that covers the Fedora variant you decided to use.</p> </div> <div class="paragraph"> <p>Now you have to make additional choices as described here.</p> </div> <div class="ulist"> <ul> <li> <p>the <em>architecture of the hardware</em> to install Fedora on</p> </li> <li> <p>the <em>type of installation media</em> that fits your needs best</p> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sect1"> <h2 id="_hardware_architecture"><a class="anchor" href="#_hardware_architecture"></a>Hardware architecture</h2> <div class="sectionbody"> <div class="paragraph"> <p>You have to determine: Which architecture is my computer?</p> </div> <div class="paragraph"> <p>The system architecture is essentially determined by the processor. Fedora officially supports Intel/AMD <em><strong>x86_64</strong></em> and ARM <em><strong>aarch64</strong></em> architecture. Additionally installation media and Fedora support for PowerPC <em>ppc64le</em> and 'big iron' <em>s390x</em> are available - just in case.</p> </div> <div class="paragraph"> <p>Installing Fedora using a wrong architecture medium is not possible. Consult your manufacturer’s documentation for details on your processor.</p> </div> <div class="paragraph"> <p>If you already use a Linux distribution on the respective computer, you can enter <code>uname -m</code> within a terminal to identify your architecture. If you use another operating system, use your preferred search engine to find out how to identify the architecture on the respective computer. Alternatively, you can search for your hardware (e.g., processor/cpu model, vendor product number of the computer): the processor/cpu determines the architecture.</p> </div> <div class="paragraph"> <p>If you are not sure about your architecture, you should have a look on the table below: this could help you to indicate what you have.</p> </div> <table id="List-Processor_and_Architecture_Types" class="tableblock frame-all grid-all stretch"> <caption class="title">Table 1.

Instead of booting directly into the installer, a live image loads the same environment you will get after installation.</p> <div class="paragraph"> <p>The file type is '<em>.iso</em>'. You have to transfer the file to a boot medium, usually an USB stick, or still a CD or DVD.</p> </div> <div class="paragraph"> <p>Use a live image to install your favorite system, test Fedora on new hardware, troubleshoot, or share with friends.</p> </div> <div class="paragraph"> <p>Fedora Workstation, the Fedora Spins and some Fedora Labs are the only ones provided as live images.</p> </div> </dd> <dt class="hdlist1">Standard images</dt> <dd> <p>Standard images ("Standard ISO") are designed to boot the computer, as well, but boot directly into the installation environment. They include all files needed for the installation and some offer further choices and configuration options.</p> <div class="paragraph"> <p>The file type is '<em>.iso</em>'. You have to transfer the file to a boot medium, usually an USB stick, or still a CD or DVD.</p> </div> <div class="paragraph"> <p>Use a standard image to perform an offline installation without any internet connection or the available connection is slow or unstable.</p> </div> <div class="paragraph"> <p>Fedora Server, Fedora IoT, Fedora CoreOS, Fedora Silverblue, and Fedora Kinoite are available as standard images.</p> </div> </dd> <dt class="hdlist1">Netinstall images</dt> <dd> <p>Netinstall images ("Netinstall ISO") are designed to boot the computer, as well, and boot directly into the installation environment. But they provide just the minimum system files to boot and to connect to the internet. Subsequently the system has to download all files needed for installation from the online Fedora package repositories.</p> <div class="paragraph"> <p>The file type is '<em>.iso</em>'. You have to transfer the file to a boot medium, usually an USB stick, or still a CD or DVD.</p> </div> <div class="paragraph"> <p>Use a netinstall image if the system has a stable and fairly fast Internet connection. The installation already accesses the latest updates.</p> </div> <div class="paragraph"> <p>Netinstall images are currently available only for Fedora Server installations.</p> </div> </dd> <dt class="hdlist1">Filesystem disk images</dt> <dd> <p>Disk images provide a <em>preinstalled and preconfigured</em> ready to run file system for a specific runtime environment like a virtual machine, e.g. cloud system, or specific hardware like single board computers (SBC), e.g. Raspberry Pi or its alternatives.</p> <div class="paragraph"> <p>The file type is mostly either '<em>.raw</em>' or '<em>.qcow2</em>'. You have to use a runtime specific installation program, provided either by Fedora (e.g. in case of SBCs) or the runtime provider (e.g. one of the cloud systems like Amazon AWS).</p> </div> <div class="paragraph"> <p>Use a filesystem disk image if you want to use one of the intended runtime environments.</p> </div> </dd> </dl> </div> </div> </div> <div id="" class="mt-16"> <p class="contribute px-6 py-3 w-fit bg-gray-100 dark:bg-fp-blue-darker rounded-full">Want to help? <a class="" href="https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-docs/contributing-docs/">Learn how to contribute to Fedora Docs <span class="ml-2 inline-block text-3xl leading-4 h-max align-top text-black dark:text-white">›</span></a></p> </div> </article> </div> </main> </div> <footer class="flex flex-col bg-fp-gray-lightest dark:bg-fp-blue-darkest dark:text-fp-gray-light text-sm dark:border-t dark:border-gray-800"> <section class="pt-2 pb-6 px-2"> <p class="text-center">All Fedora Documentation content available under <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode">CC BY-SA 4.0</a> or, when specifically noted, under another <a href="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main">accepted</a> free and open content license.</p> <div class="container mx-auto flex flex-col lg:flex-row my-4"> <div class="mx-auto lg:mx-0 lg:basis-3/12"> <img src="../../../_/img/fedora-blue.png" alt="Fedora Logo" class="w-36 mb-4 lg:mb-0" /> </div> <ul class="mx-4 flex items-center grow justify-center gap-4 lg:mx-0 lg:gap-12 xl:gap-20 2xl:gap-28 lg:justify-start" > <li class="list-none"> <a href="/en-US/legal/privacy/" class="text-fp-gray-darkest dark:text-fp-gray transition duration-300 ease-in-out hover:text-fp-gray dark:hover:text-fp-gray-light" >Privacy Statement</a > </li> <li class="list-none"> <a href="/en-US/legal/" class="text-fp-gray-darkest transition duration-300 ease-in-out hover:text-fp-gray dark:text-fp-gray dark:hover:text-fp-gray-light" >Legal</a > </li> <li class="list-none"> <a href="/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/" class="text-fp-gray-darkest transition duration-300 ease-in-out hover:text-fp-gray dark:text-fp-gray dark:hover:text-fp-gray-light" >Code of Conduct</a > </li> <li class="list-none"> <a href="https://getfedora.org/en/sponsors/" class="text-fp-gray-darkest transition duration-300 ease-in-out hover:text-fp-gray dark:text-fp-gray dark:hover:text-fp-gray-light" >Sponsors</a > </li> </ul> </div> <p class="text-center text-xs text-fp-gray-dark">Last build: 2024-12-01 01:50:25 UTC | Last content update: 2023-11-06 </p> </section>  <section class="bg-black py-6 text-center md:text-left px-2"> <div class="container mx-auto flex flex-col lg:flex-row"> <div class="mx-auto items-center lg:mx-0 lg:basis-3/12"> <img src="../../../_/img/logo-sponsored-by-red-hat.png" alt="Sponsored by Red Hat Logo" class="mb-4 xl:mb-0" /> </div> <div class="flex items-center justify-center text-center lg:text-left lg:ml-8 xl:-ml-8 2xl:ml-5"> <p class="text-white"> Fedora is sponsored by Red Hat. <a class="block text-fp-gray xl:ml-2 xl:inline" href="https://www.redhat.com/en/technologies/linux-platforms/articles/relationship-between-fedora-and-rhel"> Learn more about the relationship between Red Hat and Fedora. </a> </p> </div> </div> </section> </footer> <script id="site-script" src="../../../_/js/site.js" data-ui-root-path="../../../_"></script> <script async src="../../../_/js/vendor/highlight.js"></script> <script async src="../../../_/js/vendor/datatables.js"></script> <script async src="../../../_/js/vendor/tabs.js"></script> <script src="../../../_/js/vendor/lunr.js"></script> <script src="../../../_/js/search-ui.js" id="search-ui-script" data-site-root-path="../../.." data-snippet-length="100" data-stylesheet="../../../_/css/search.css"></script> <script async src="../../../search-index.js"></script> </body> </html>
