Lawrence, for installing based on the information above try:
dd if=./Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-25_Alpha-2.iso of=/dev/sda
bs=1M status=progress
for your understanding... the "./" in front of the filename notes
your location to the system as "in my current directory" but
irregardless the illegal operand came from the space between the "="
and the "F" in your second attempt. The first failure of running out
of space is because dd was directed to a partition sda1. Also, be
sure this is your usb drive, my experience is that sda is usually the
hard drive. Broken down sda1 is: "sd"=serial device,"a" [or
b,c,d,e,f, etc] is the devices in sequence as discovered, "1" [or
2,3,4, etc] are the partitions on the device. With that try the
following command WITHOUT the usb plugged in:
ls /dev/sd*
which should give you something like:
/dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3
Then re-run the same command WITH the usb plugged in which should give
you something like:
/dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3 /dev/sdb /dev/sdb1
This last letter to appear is the one you want and without the number.
So be REAL sure you have your usb device letter correct and:
dd if=./Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-25_Alpha-2.iso of=/dev/sdb
bs=1M status=progress
will work.
If you want to easily understand the command line I suggest you go
through this quick course:
http://linuxcommand.org/
It is a great primer for understanding all we are talking about and
can be done in about an evening.
Caution: "dd" is an aggressive program so be sure of the variables
you writing to in the "of=" parts of the command. Also, the
"status=progress" part is optional, lets you see your progress of the
command.

Problem in your example and in OP's failed attempt, is using sda.
sda is the first drive in the system. Is it the usb flash disk? R U sure?
If it is not the USB flash, then the system (which according to the OP)
was running fc24,
is now hosed because it would have been on /dev/sdaX (X=[1|2|3|4...]).
