# Fedora Installation Guide
Fedora uses PipeWire for audio management [since Fedora 34](https://fedoramagazine.org/pipewire-the-new-audio-and-video-daemon-in-fedora-linux-34/). An [adapter](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeWire#ALSA_clients) is included which creates a virtual ALSA output device to route audio from ALSA-compatible sources into the PipeWire infrastructure. It is recommended that Shairport Sync is built with the standard ALSA backend (`--with-alsa`).

It is recommended that Shairport Sync is built with the standard ALSA backend (`--with-alsa`).
Shairport Sync also offers a PipeWire (`--with-pw`) backend – still new and still under development. The PulseAudio (`--with-pa`) backend may also be used thanks to a PulseAudio-to-PipeWire adapter.
The use of PipeWire, even indirectly, means that Shairport Sync can not be installed as a system service (aka a system daemon). Instead it must be started by a user after login or installed as a user service. It means that the user must log in for the Shairport Sync service to become available.
The use of PipeWire, even indirectly, means that Shairport Sync can not be installed as a system service (aka a system daemon). The user must log in through the Fedora GUI for AirPlay audio received by Shairport Sync to be routed to the system audio output, e.g. the onboard speakers.
## Enable RPM Fusion Software Repositories (AirPlay 2 Only)
For AirPlay 2, it is important to [enable](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/setup_rpmfusion) the RPM Fusion software repositories, at least to the "Free" level. This is so that [ffmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org) libraries will be installed that include a suitable AAC decoder.
