 Select one approach listed here, thus either the official (downstream) Fedora packages repository, or our X2Go Fedora repository and stick to it.
 Unreleased versions and unofficial (related to the Fedora project) release packages are only available directly from the X2Go project, follow the instructions in the [[#adding_the_x2go_repository_to_your_package_system|second section]] to configure your package manager for this.
+Note that if you are on POWER (ppc64le), you will only be able to obtain X2Go from the official (downstream) Fedora packages repository.

-Please add the file ''x2go.repo'' to the folder ''/etc/yum.repos.d/''.
+<note>For unsupported, archived Fedora versions, please refer to [[wiki:repositories:archives:fedora|Fedora Archives]].</note>
-This can be done by using your preferred editor.
+==== Base Installation ====
+Download the .repo file and save it to the correct location:
 <code bash>
-$ editor /etc/yum.repos.d/x2go.repo
+wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/x2go.repo \
+ http://packages.x2go.org/fedora/x2go.repo
 </code>
-Then add the X2Go repository to your YUM/DNF setup:
+For reference, the file will also be inlined here, with the original information being available on [[http://packages.x2go.org/fedora/x2go.repo]]:

+Edit this file with your preferred editor.
-Now you can search for X2Go related package that are now available for your system via DNF
 <code bash>
-$ dnf search x2go
+$ editor /etc/yum.repos.d/x2go.repo
 </code>
-Congratulations, you are now able to access the X2Go packages. You may continue by installing x2goserver-xsession, x2goclient or pyhoca-gui or any other of the available packages.
+As a rule of thumb: ''source''-labeled repositories are never needed, unless you want to build packages from source. ''extras''-tagged repositories are always needed.
+By default, the ''release''-labeled repository is enabled and the ''nightly''-tagged repository is disabled. If you want to use the unreleased, more up-to-date packages, disable the ''release''-labeled repository and enable the ''nightly''-tagged repository.
-===== Mirroring This Repository =====
