+
+Anaconda is the installation program used by Fedora, Red Hat Enterprise Linux and link:anaconda_distros.html[ some other distributions].
+
+During installation, a target computer's hardware is identified and configured, and the appropriate file systems for the system's architecture are created.
+Finally, Anaconda allows the user to install the operating system software on the target computer.
+Anaconda can also upgrade existing installations of earlier versions of the same distribution. 
+After the installation is complete, you can reboot into your installed system and continue doing customization using https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/InitialSetup[initial setup].
+
+Anaconda is a fairly sophisticated installer.
+It supports installation from local and remote sources such as CDs and DVDs, images stored on a hard drive, NFS, HTTP, and FTP.
+Installation can be scripted with link:Anaconda/Kickstart[ kickstart] to provide a fully unattended installation that can be duplicated on scores of machines.
+It can also be run over VNC on headless machines.
+A variety of advanced storage devices including LVM, RAID, iSCSI, and multipath are supported from the partitioning program.
+Anaconda provides advanced debugging features such as remote logging, access to the python interactive debugger, and remote saving of exception dumps.
+
+[id="users"]
+== Users
+
+If you are a user having problems with Anaconda, please use the user support forum for your distribution such as http://forums.fedoraforum.org/forumdisplay.php?f=6[Fedora Forum] or https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users[fedora-users].
+
+From time to time, we may distribute updates for Anaconda to fix problems in Fedora releases.
+The link:Anaconda/Updates[ updates] wiki page explains how to use these updates images.
+
+Need to see what's changed from release to release?
+See our link:Anaconda/Changes[migration guide] which summarizes changes for users, rebuilders, and contributors.

+== Advanced Users
+
+If you are an advanced user of Anaconda, you should check out https://anaconda-installer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/boot-options.html[our reference to Anaconda command line options],https://anaconda-installer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kickstart.html[our kickstart file format documentation] and link:Anaconda/Logging[ our reference to logging capabilities of Anaconda].
+
+There is a mailing list devoted to the use of kickstart.
+You can find the list signup and archive information at http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list[kickstart list].
+This is the best place to share tips and tricks about kickstart.

+
+[id="mailing-lists"]
+== Mailing Lists
+
+There are two mailing lists for Anaconda.
+The first is the development mailing list. This list is used to discuss development issues, submit patches, and other activities related to extending Anaconda.
+The sign up for the development list is located at https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list[anaconda development list site].
+Past discussions can be found in the https://www.redhat.com/archives/anaconda-devel-list[anaconda development archives].
+
+The second list is a user oriented list on how to create kickstart files.
+The kickstart list is the place to discuss automated installation issues.
+The sign up for the kickstart list is located at https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list[anaconda kickstart list site].
+Past discussions can be found in the https://www.redhat.com/archives/kickstart-list[anaconda kickstart archives].
+
+Patch review used to take place on a mailing list dedicated to submitting and reviewing patches.
+Patch review now takes place on https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pulls[GitHub] via pull requests.
+Past discussions of patches can be found in the https://lists.fedorahosted.org/pipermail/anaconda-patches/[anaconda-patches archives], which is the main purpose this mailing list now serves.
+
+[id="irc"]
+== IRC
+
+There is also an IRC channel on http://freenode.net.
+This resource is for discussion of Anaconda development, not for distribution customization questions.
+
+[id="how-to-contribute"]
+== How to Contribute
+
+For how to contribute to Anaconda and related projects, see the https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Contribute[Contributing to Anaconda and related projects] documentation.
+
+Please note that useful contributions are not limited to submitting patches for source code.
+You can also help with https://anaconda-installer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/testing.html[testing], reporting bugs, improving translations or extending the Anaconda documentation.
+
+[id="developers-guide"]
+== Developers' Guide
+
+Anaconda is now almost entirely written in Python 3.
+The graphical front end uses GTK+ 3 via gobject-introspection, and as much of the interface as possible is written using the glade interface builder.
+The earliest parts of Anaconda are in shell for integration with dracut, and there's still a little bit of C thrown in for interfacing with certain libraries.
+
+Here are some documents if you are planning on working on Anaconda.
+More are in the works:
+
+* Anaconda/Devel/Translation
+* If you want to work on Anaconda, you should start with the link:Anaconda/SourceOverview[Source Overview], which contains a high level discussion of the source files and what they do. 
+Then look at the https://anaconda-installer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/[online documentation] for information on how to test, debug, and develop anaconda.
+ 
+Familiarize yourself with the tools that Anaconda uses.
+Check out the following external reference documents:
+
+* https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/[GTK+ reference]
+* https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/[Python tutorial]
+* https://docs.python.org/2/py-modindex.html[Python module reference]
+
+[id="getting-the-source"]
+== Getting the Source
+
+The primary methods of distributing the Anaconda source are source RPMs in the http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/source/SRPMS/[Fedora development tree] and git.
+To access the current source code in in non-rpm format, you'll need to install git.
+
+----
+$ dnf install git
+----
+
+Note that several related packages will be installed as well.
+After the git source code management tool has been installed, then you use anonymous git access to the Anaconda repository.
+
+----
+$ git clone https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda.git
+----
+
+The output may look similar to the following:
+
+----
+Initialized empty Git repository in /home/drkludge/anacondatest/anaconda/.git/

+remote: Counting objects: 10861

+
+If you have committer access to Anaconda, then you will want to use the git+ssh access url.
+
+----
+$ git clone git+ssh://git@github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda.git
+----
+
+Once you've committed changes locally, you can push them with
+
+----
+$ git push
+----
+
+If you would just like to browse the Anaconda git repository via the web, then please use the following https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda.git[Anaconda git URLs].
+
+Anaconda has an https://github.com/rhinstaller/kickstart-tests[extensive suite of tests] that is still growing.
+If you contribute new functionality, it's good practice to include some tests along with that.
+We have a https://anaconda-installer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/testing.html[document that outlines the test suite infratructure and describes how to run tests].
+
+To contribute you should read our https://anaconda-installer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/contributing.html[guidelines for contributing].
+
+[id="reporting-problems"]
+== Reporting Problems
+
+If you are having difficulty installing, please file the problem report with your distribution vendor.
+
+Before filing a bug, please read up on link:How_to_debug_installation_problems[How to debug installation problems], which will tell you how to fill out useful bug reports that will help us quickly solve your problem.
+Also try searching bugzilla for other reports about your problem, as some bugs are often filed by several people.
+
+link:Anaconda/AnacondaBugWorkflow[AnacondaBugWorkflow] is a guideline to how Fedora Anaconda bugs pass through bugzilla, and what all the various statuses really mean. This is *only* for Fedora.
