Download the installer
You can download the installer "LiveImage" from the Fedora website here, this "LiveImage" installer allows to boot the operating system from the optical device without changing anything in your hard disk.
For this installation, I am using a VM (virtual machine) with Oracle VirtualBox of: 2 vCPU, 4 GBytes of RAM, 20 GBytes of hard disk and "bridge adapter" for network interface.
Start the installation
Once we have created and configured our virtual machine (VM), start the installation ... it shows the following image ... select the option "Start Fedora-Workstation-Live 36" and press enter key
It shows a screen with a list of the components/programs that are being started for the operation of Fedora "Live" mode.
Then, the "Welcome to Fedora" screen appears where you can use Fedora in "live" mode by clicking on "Try Fedora" so you can explore the features of Fedora Workstation without damaging your computer settings ... or you can proceed to install Fedora on the hard drive for this click on "Install to Hard Drive".
After a few seconds, the Fedora Workstation desktop appears, with the installation assistant asking to select the language.
Then, configure the keyboard, installation destination and date/time.
Click on the "Installation destination" icon, now the installation program examines the available hard drives or partitions, it shows a list of available disks, select the operating system storage and press the "Done" button.
After completing the configuration of the installation process, click on "Begin Installation".
