Per iniziare
Questo manuale spiega come installare Fedora su macchine a 64 bit AMD, Intel e Arm SystemReady. La guida, insieme alle sue sezioni di approfondimento dedicate alle diverse varianti, è pensata per utenti di tutti i livelli di esperienza. Tuttavia, descrive il processo di installazione e le sue numerose opzioni con un livello di dettaglio molto superiore a quello necessario per la maggior parte degli utenti. Questo dovrebbe aiutare i nuovi utenti a completare l’installazione senza interruzioni. Gli utenti possono saltare le sezioni relative ad argomenti già noti.
Introduzione
Fedora viene fornito in diverse varianti della distribuzione, adattati a scopi speciali. Le chiamiamo Edizioni e spin.
A causa di queste differenze, non esiste un’unica procedura di installazione.
La maggior parte delle edizioni e delle spin, ma non tutte, utilizzano Anaconda, il programma di installazione di Fedora, ma in modo abbastanza diverso nei dettagli.
Di conseguenza, ogni edizione descrive l’installazione separatamente. La maggior parte degli spin si basa su una delle edizioni, principalmente Fedora Workstation, e utilizza la relativa procedura di installazione.
Tuttavia, ci sono alcuni passaggi preparatori che sono quasi gli stessi per tutte le varianti, ad esempio è necessario preparare un supporto di installazione.

Regarding installation, be especially prepared for the fact that each variant requires additional post-installation processes.
General preparations
Despite all the differentiation, some things are the same for all variants.
Download the software deliverables
The differentiation according to tasks and areas of application corresponds to a differentiation of the download options and the further processing.
To find out more about Fedora download options, see Downloading Fedora.
Visit the Fedora Project downloads site to download a distribution file.
Prepare boot media
An install on hardware usually requires to transfer the download file to a bootable medium, mostly an USB stick. Fedora Media Writer is an appropriate tool.
Alternatively you may try balenaEtcher or the Ventoy project, both available for Linux, MacOS, and Windows. The latter is specifically usefull if you want to have several distributions and versions available on one stick.
