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.
Fedora is provided in several distribution items tailored for special Purpuses. We call it *Editions* and *spins*. Because of these differences, there is no single installation procedure. 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.
