I think nearly all the fedora images are live CDs now. They should have an option to install fedora when you boot the cd. Usually when you boot the cd. A window appears asking to either install the os or try it out. If you are using a non gnome cd,you may have to search the application menu for the installer
At one point, at least the LiveCD had a bunch of limitations, possibly on partitioning, and also on package selection. I don't know if that's still true.
However, there are also the server and workstation spins. If you are looking for the usual Gnome desktop, you probably want workstation. I usue server, choose minimal install and add things afterwards.
The Fedora site itself has the live one by default. Their logic is that the newcomer will have the best chance of success with that one, and the more experienced will go elsewhere. Their site, https://getfedora.org/, shows server and workstation images for download.
