<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">This is cool, thanks. See, I'm so not a Linux guy that i didn't even know what Fedora was, till I looked it up just now <span>😊. </span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><span><br>
</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><span>It sounds like it might make sense to include your Fedora install info in a renamed "Linux Install" chapter, along with the updated Ubuntu install info (and any other Linux OS that someone felt like addressing).
All of this would presumably require some degree of screen-shots, in keeping with the rest of the manual--though how much is a matter of personal judgment: I mean maybe in the case of the Fedora install you've detailed there would be literally zero screenshots,
if the whole thing really was via command-line. </span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><span><br>
</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><span>In any case, probably the way to proceed is for you, Greg, to take initial charge of the current "Ubuntu" chapter, rename it "Linux" or something (by double-clicking on the chapter name, as I just learned from Mick
yesterday), and adding in your bit in a separate Fedora section. Then we wait for someone to step forward who is running Ubuntu, to update that part (unless you happen to be dual-booting with Ubuntu, or running it on a separate machine). </span></p>

Here is the nitty-gritty on installation for Fedora:<br>
<br>
"The simplest way to install Audacity on recent versions of Fedora is to<br>
use the command line. You must be root or have administrative privileges<br>
to install software. There are 2 versions of Audacity for Fedora:<br>
<br>
audacity<br>
audacity-freeworld<br>
<br>
The latter version includes a variety of libraries which are not part of<br>
the main Fedora repositories, so you would need to first install<br>
rpmfusion-free-release and rpmfusion-nonfree-release. Go to<br>
rpmfusion.org and download the appropriate releases for your version of<br>
Fedora. These represent additions to your repositories. On the command<br>
line, type<br>
<br>
sudo dnf -y install rpmfusion-free-release...<br>
<br>
Where the ellipsis at the end needs to fit the rest of the particular<br>
version you need. For example in Fedora 26, it would be<br>
<br>
rpmfusion-free-release-26.noarch.rpm<br>
<br>
Once you have both of these installed, then type<br>
<br>
sudo dnf -y install audacity-freeworld<br>
<br>
after which the assessment of dependencies, downloads and installations<br>
should proceed automatically.<br>
<br>
Once it is installed, your are ready to use it. Simply type 'audacity'<br>
on the command line or find the application under Multimedia with your<br>
application launcher."<br>
