Verify Your Download

Verify your download for security and integrity using the checksum file. If the checksum file has a valid signature from one of the the Fedora Project's OpenPGP certificates, and the SHA256 checksum matches the download, then the download is valid.

Download the checksum file into the same directory as the image you downloaded.
Download Fedora's OpenPGP certificates.
```
curl -O https://fedoraproject.org/fedora.pgp
```
```
curl -O https://fedoraproject.org/fedora.gpg
```
You can verify the details of the OpenPGP certificates here.

Use the OpenPGP-verified checksum to verify the download.
You can use sq or gpgv to verify the checksum file.

sq verify --cleartext --signer-file ./fedora.pgp \
                      Fedora-Labs-44-1.7-x86_64-CHECKSUM \
                      | sha256sum -c --ignore-missing

gpgv --keyring ./fedora.gpg --output - \
                      Fedora-Labs-44-1.7-x86_64-CHECKSUM \
                      | sha256sum -c --ignore-missing

If the output states that the file is valid, then it's ready to use!

Alternatively, if you just want to test for unintentional file corruption, you can skip the OpenPGP verification. The SHA256 checksum for this download should be:

Fedora Media Writer

Getting started with Fedora Linux is easier than ever. All you need is a 4GB USB flash drive and the Fedora Media Writer utility.

After Fedora Media Writer is installed, you can use it to write a "Live" version of Fedora Linux to a flash drive. You will then be able to boot from your flash drive and try Fedora Linux out without making any permanent changes to your computer. Once you are hooked, transferring Fedora Linux from the flash drive to your computer's hard drive is a matter of clicking a few buttons.* Learn More

Most Fedora Linux variants recommend 40GB disk space and 4GB RAM to install and run. Double these amounts might yield a better experience depending on how the system is being used.

We Take Security Seriously

Once you have downloaded an image, be sure to verify it for both security and integrity.

By calculating a image's checksum and comparing it to its original checksum, you can verify that a image has not been tampered with or corrupted. Images are also signed with the Fedora Project's OpenPGP keys to demonstrate their integrity.

Click the verify button to get instructions tailored for your download.

By clicking on and downloading Fedora, you agree to comply with the Fedora Export Control Policy.
