So i just installed Fedora around a week ago and i am very new to using Linux. And today i installed i3 Wm using "yum install i3". After i installed it i tryed to open a terminal using $mod+Enter/Alt+Enter like the Documentation said but it does not open anything.What could the problem be here?

Check the config file (~/.i3/config or /etc/i3/config if you aborted the wizard) for the line binding $mod+Return:
grep '+Return' ~/.i3/config
bindsym Mod1+Return exec i3-sensible-terminal
Then, verify that the terminal emulator which you use in your config is actually installed. In this case, i3-sensible-terminal is a wrapper which tries to start the first one of urxvt, rxvt, terminator, Eterm, aterm, xterm, gnome-terminal, roxterm, xfce4-terminal.
So, install e.g. urxvt and retry.
You could try “bindsym Mod1+Return exec gnome-terminal”. If that doesn’t help, see http://i3wm.org/docs/debugging.html
