This article will explain in detail how to install Fedora on raspberry pie 3. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it with you as a reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

Get hardware

You need some hardware components, including raspberry pie. You don't need any HaT (hardware installed at the top) board or USB antenna. If you have ever used raspberry pie, you may have these.

Current network. Maybe it's your home lab.

Network cable. Connect the current network to raspberry pie

Raspberry pie 3, model B or B +.

Power supply.

8 GB or greater micro-SD card.

Keyboard and monitor.

The keyboard and monitor work together to form the local console. Operations can be performed even without a console (although complex), such as setting up an automatic installation and then connecting over a network. When Fedora starts for the first time, the local console can easily respond to configuration questions. Similarly, errors during AP configuration can break the network configuration and prevent remote users from connecting.

Download Fedora Minimal

Find other optional schema images for Fedora.

Download the ARM ®aarch74 schema image.

The Fedora Minimal image is one of the other optional downloads for Fedora, and it has all the necessary core and network packages (well, almost, note the dnsmasq below). The image contains an off-the-shelf file system that has more than 400 software packages installed. This minimum image does not include popular software packages, such as development environments, Internet services, or desktops. These types of software are not required here and may take up too much memory if they are installed.

The original Fedora Minimal image can be installed on a small SD card and run in less memory than 1GB (these old raspberries have 1GB memory).

The name of the download file is similar to Fedora-Minimal-32-1.6.aarch74.raw.xz. The file has been compressed and is about the size of 700MB. The file is unzipped to 5GB. This is an ext4 file system, which is mostly empty: about 1GB has been used and free 4GB has been used. This empty space is the reason why compressed files are much smaller than uncompressed original files.

Copy to micro-SD card

Copy the mirror to the micro-SD card.

This may be more complicated than it sounds, and it can be a painful experience. Finding a good micro-SD card takes effort. Then there is the challenge of plugging the card into the computer. Maybe your laptop has a full-size SD card slot, you also need a card adapter, or you need a USB adapter. Then, when making a copy, the operating system may help you or hinder you. You may be lucky to have Fedora Media Writer, or use these Linux commands:

Unxz. / Fedora-Minimal-32-1.6.aarch74.raw.xzdd if=./Fedora-Minimal-32-1.6.aarch74.raw of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=8M status=progress oflag=direct install Fedora

Connect raspberry pie, power cord, network cable and micro-SD card.

Turn on the power.

When the graphics chip is powered on, you see a color box.

Wait for the anaconda installer to start.

Answer the setup question about anaconda.

The initial configuration of the operating system takes several minutes. It takes a few minutes to wait for it to start, and it takes some time to fill in the text installer for anaconda. In the following example, the user name is nick and is also an administrator (a member of the wheel group).

Congratulations! Your raspberry pie is up and running.

Update softwar

Update the package with dnf update.

Restart via systemctl reboot.

Over the years, many people have done a lot of work to make raspberry pie work. Use the latest software to make sure you benefit from their hard work. If you skip this step, you may find that some things are not working properly.

About 100 software packages have been downloaded and installed for this update. Because the storage device is a micro-SD card, the process of writing new software is slow. This is what it felt like to use memory in the 1990s.

Something that can be manipulated.

If you want to fiddle with it, you can set something else at this time. It's all optional. Try these.

Sudo hostnamectl set-hostname raspi replaces the localhost hostname.

Use ip addr to find the IP address.

Try a SSH login or even set up a key-based login using ssh-copy-id.

Shut down the system using systemctl poweroff.
