Things to do after installing Fedora 20

by Rahul Bali on December 21, 2013

So you have already installed Fedora 20 but don’t know where to start ? Although Fedora 20 works out of the box but still lack some necessary functionality for obvious reasons. Here is a post install step by step guide for Fedora 20.

Update Fedora

The very first thing you should do after installing Fedora is update your system. Sometimes some minor bugs are left intentionally as the OS has to be released on a fixed date and those bugs are normally fixed in a Day 1 patch, so it is a good idea to update the system just after a fresh install.

su    yum update

Enable RPM Fusion

Official Fedora repo has most of the Free Software for your needs but you have to enable the RPM Fusion repo to install your favorite non-free software, the entire process is pretty simple. Copy paste the below code in your terminal and you are done.

su -c 'yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm-E %fedora).noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm'
