Run `coreos-installer` to install to the target disk. There are https://coreos.github.io/coreos-installer/getting-started/[various ways] to run `coreos-installer` and install to a target disk.

NOTE: Fedora CoreOS has a default `core` user that can be used to explore the OS. If you want to use it, finalize its xref:authentication.adoc[configuration] by providing e.g. an SSH key.
