____
This manual explains how to install Fedora on 64-bit AMD, Intel and Arm SystemReady machines. The guide and its further detailed guides about different variants are intended for users of all levels of experience. However, it describes the installation process and its many options in far greater detail than most users are likely to require. This should help new users to complete the installation process without interruptions. Users may skip section about familiar topics.

This guide intends to provide an overview of and an introduction to installing Fedora. It takes into account users with varying levels of knowledge and experience with Fedora, and therefore covers greater detail than some users are likely to require. This should specifically help new users to complete the installation process without interruptions. Users may skip section about familiar topics.
== Introduction
This guide covers installation of Fedora, a Linux distribution built on free and open source software. This manual helps you install Fedora on desktops, laptops, and servers. The installation system is easy to use, even if you lack previous knowledge of Linux or computer networks. If you select default options, Fedora provides a complete desktop operating system, including productivity applications, Internet utilities, and desktop tools.

Most editions and spins, but not all, use Anaconda, the Fedora installer, but in a way that is quite different in detail.
Therefore, each edition describes the installation separately. Most spins are based on one of the editions, mostly Fedora Workstation, and use the corresponding installation procedure.

Nevertheless, there are some preparatory steps that are almost the same for all variants, e.g. you need to prepare an installation media.
