dl-fedora

Hackage GPL-3 license Stackage Lts Stackage Nightly

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 41 silverblue : downloads the Fedora Silverblue iso

dl-fedora respin kde : downloads the latest KDE Live respin

dl-fedora 40 server --arch aarch64 : will download the Server iso for armv8

dl-fedora --run 41 : will download Fedora Workstation and boot the Live image with qemu-kvm.

dl-fedora --check respin : checks if there is a newer respin iso image available.

dl-fedora --local rawhide : shows the current locally available image. It can be combined with --run to quickly run the latest local image, without a newer download.

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 mirrored image redirected from download.fedoraproject.org by default. If you want to ensure getting the very latest image you can use --latest, which will then download from dl.fedoraproject.org instead if your mirror is not synced yet.

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.
