Fedora Downloads
The Fedora docs team
This section provides guidance on how to select the appropriate installation media for the download.
As already mentioned, the https://fedoraproject.org[Fedora Project website] provides all the Fedora Downloads. The landing page lists all available Editions, Spins, Labs, etc. as described in xref::getting-started.adoc[Getting started], and links to the proper details pages. Navigate to the page that covers the Fedora variant you decided to use.
Now you have to make additional choices as described here.

Hardware architecture
You have to determine: Which architecture is my computer?
The system architecture is essentially determined by the processor. Fedora officially supports Intel/AMD __**x86_64**__ and ARM __**aarch64**__ architecture. Additionally installation media and Fedora support for PowerPC _ppc64le_ and 'big iron' _s390x_ are available - just in case.
Installing Fedora using a wrong architecture medium is not possible. Consult your manufacturer's documentation for details on your processor.
If you already use a Linux distribution on the respective computer, you can enter `uname -m` within a terminal to identify your architecture. If you use another operating system, use your preferred search engine to find out how to identify the architecture on the respective computer. Alternatively, you can search for your hardware (e.g., processor/cpu model, vendor product number of the computer): the processor/cpu determines the architecture.
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 and architecture types
|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|`x86_64`
|Most processors other than Intel and AMD; Mac computers beginning with Apple M1; Raspberry Pi and most comparable devices; most tablets; some netbooks|`ARM® aarch64`
Regarding ARM architecture, Fedora supports only 64-bit architecture, aarch64 or arm8, as of release 37 and newer. The older 32-bit architecture, armhfp or arm7, is dropped.
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.
