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
