In this tutorial, we will show you how to install WoeUSB on Fedora 38. For those of you who didn’t know, If you are a Fedora 38 user seeking to create bootable Windows USB drives from Windows ISO files, WoeUSB is the tool you need. WoeUSB is a Linux utility that simplifies the process of creating bootable Windows installations on USB drives, making it a valuable tool for anyone managing Windows installations. However, to ensure that your experience with WoeUSB is smooth and error-free, it’s essential to install the latest version.

This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS.

I will show you the step-by-step installation of the WoeUSB on a Fedora 38.

Prerequisites

• A server running one of the following operating systems: Fedora 38.
• It’s recommended that you use a fresh OS install to prevent any potential issues.
• SSH access to the server (or just open Terminal if you’re on a desktop).
• An active internet connection. You’ll need an internet connection to download the necessary packages and dependencies for WoeUSB.
• A non-root sudo user or access to the root user. We recommend acting as a non-root sudo user, however, as you can harm your system if you’re not careful when acting as the root.

RPM Fusion is a third-party repository that offers additional software not found in Fedora’s official repositories. It’s a trustworthy source for RPM packages that aren’t maintained by the Fedora Project but are frequently used by Fedora users. We’ll add the RPM Fusion repository to access WoeUSB:

sudo dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-38.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-38.noarch.rpm

To confirm that the RPM Fusion repositories have been added successfully, run:

sudo dnf repolist

WoeUSB is available in RPM Fusion’s repository, and we’ll now install it using DNF, Fedora’s package manager. Before installing WoeUSB, let’s search for the latest version to ensure that you are installing the most up-to-date package. You can do this by executing:

sudo dnf search woeusb
