dl-fedora
A tool for downloading Fedora, ELN, and Centos Stream images. By default it targets the Workstation edition of Fedora.
Usage examples:
dl-fedora rawhide
: downloads the latest Fedora Rawhide Workstation Live iso
dl-fedora 39 silverblue
: downloads the Fedora Silverblue iso
dl-fedora respin kde
: downloads the latest KDE Live respin
dl-fedora 38 server --arch aarch64
: will download the Server iso for armv8
dl-fedora --run 39
: will download Fedora Workstation and boot the Live image with qemu-kvm.
dl-fedora --local rawhide
: shows the current locally available image (as well as the latest one). With --dryrun
it doesn’t check for newest iso.
dl-fedora c9s
: downloads a Centos Stream 9 net installer.
By default dl-fedora downloads to ~/Downloads/
(correctly the XDG user “DOWNLOADS” directory),
but if you create an iso
subdirectory there (~/Downloads/iso/
)
it will use that directory instead.
dl-fedora
downloads the latest image redirected from download.fedoraproject.org
by default, after checking for the latest image at dl.fedoraproject.org
.
However if the mirror is not synced yet it will download from dl.fedoraproject.org
instead. You can use --no-dl
to avoid checking and downloading from the main dl.fedoraproject.org mirror (in this case a nightly image might not be the very latest).
If the image is already found to be downloaded it will not be re-downloaded of course. Curl is used to do the downloading: partial downloads will continue.
A symlink to the latest iso is also created:
eg for rawhide it might be "Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-Rawhide-latest.iso"
.
It also tries to check the iso checksum and its gpg signature.
