Install Fedora

 

I recommend reading the Common F35 bugs and the Installation Guide before installation. You will find instructions that may have application on your specific hardware.

 

In the case of a "live" distribution, the new OS (operating system) will run from the DVD or the Pen Drive, without making any changes to the hard disk. You can test the OS and only then install it on the hard drive.


During installation, create a secure password for Root (administrator) and a user for yourself. Always use that user. DO NOT use root as your personal user. This is the cause of many errors and, in addition, the root user was never designed for personal use.


Finally restart the computer, remove the DVD, enter your personal user password and update the entire system.

 

[pratajo@amd64 ~]$ su -
(enter the root password)
[root@amd64 ~]$ dnf update

 

Restart the computer to load a new kernel and start the updated applications. Restart on the desktop or with the reboot command.

 

[root@amd64 ~]$ reboot

 

 

Parameterize DNF

 

Fedora uses DNF to install and update its software over the internet. It also automatically determines application dependencies.

 

Repositories Fedora
Fedora includes two repositories by default: fedora (the same software packages as the DVD) and updates with updated packages. These repositories “sign” their RPM files to make sure they are valid when they are downloaded.

 

Other Repositories
For applications that conflict with Fedora policy (MP3, DVD, MPEG, binary drivers, etc.) the RPM Fusion repository is required.

 

[pratajo@amd64 ~]$ su -

 (enter the root password)

[root@amd64 ~]$ dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
