Fedora Downloads
This section provides guidance on how to select the appropriate installation media for the download.
Come già accennato, il sito getfedora.org fornisce tutti i download di Fedora. La pagina principale elenca tutte le Edizioni, Spins, Labs, ecc. disponibili, come descritto in Introduzione, e rimanda alle relative pagine di dettaglio. Naviga alla pagina relativa alla variante di Fedora che hai deciso di utilizzare.
Now you have to make additional choices as described here.

Hardware architecture
You have to determine: Which architecture is my computer?
L’architettura del sistema è sostanzialmente determinata dal processore. Fedora supporta ufficialmente le architetture Intel/AMD *x86\_64 e ARM aarch64*. Inoltre, sono disponibili supporti di installazione e supporto Fedora per PowerPC ppc64le e per sistemi 'big iron' s390x, giusto per precauzione.
Non è possibile installare Fedora utilizzando un supporto con un’architettura errata. Consulta la documentazione del produttore per maggiori dettagli sul tuo processore.
Se usi già una distribuzione Linux sul computer in questione, puoi digitare uname -m nel terminale per identificare la tua architettura. Se utilizzi un altro sistema operativo, usa il tuo motore di ricerca preferito per scoprire come identificare l’architettura sul computer specifico. In alternativa, puoi cercare informazioni sull’hardware (ad esempio, modello del processore/CPU o numero di prodotto del produttore del computer): il processore/CPU determina l’architettura.
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.
| Processor manufacturer and types of computer | Architecture type for Fedora |
|---|---|
Most computers with Intel and AMD processors; Mac computers before Apple M1; most server, workstation, desktop and laptop type computers; some netbooks and tablets |
|
Most processors other than Intel and AMD; Mac computers beginning with Apple M1; Raspberry Pi and most comparable devices; most tablets; some netbooks |
|
Per quanto riguarda l’architettura ARM, a partire dalla versione 37, Fedora supporta esclusivamente l’architettura a 64 bit, aarch64 o arm8. Il supporto per la precedente architettura a 32 bit, armhfp o arm7, è stato rimosso.
Media Types
Fedora provides 4 different types of installation media that meet different requirements.
- Live images
-
Live images ("Live ISO") are designed to boot the computer and to allow you to preview Fedora before installing it. Instead of booting directly into the installer, a live image loads the same environment you will get after installation.
The file type is '.iso'. You have to transfer the file to a boot medium, usually an USB stick, or still a CD or DVD.
Use a live image to install your favorite system, test Fedora on new hardware, troubleshoot, or share with friends.
Fedora Workstation, the Fedora Spins and some Fedora Labs are the only ones provided as live images.
- Standard images
-
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.
The file type is '.iso'. You have to transfer the file to a boot medium, usually an USB stick, or still a CD or DVD.
Use a standard image to perform an offline installation without any internet connection or the available connection is slow or unstable.
Fedora Server, Fedora IoT, Fedora CoreOS, Fedora Silverblue, and Fedora Kinoite are available as standard images.
- Netinstall images
-
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.
The file type is '.iso'. You have to transfer the file to a boot medium, usually an USB stick, or still a CD or DVD.
Use a netinstall image if the system has a stable and fairly fast Internet connection. The installation already accesses the latest updates.
Netinstall images are currently available only for Fedora Server installations.
- Filesystem disk images
-
Disk images provide a preinstalled and preconfigured 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.
The file type is mostly either '.raw' or '.qcow2'. 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).
Use a filesystem disk image if you want to use one of the intended runtime environments.
