How To Install arpack on Fedora 36

In this tutorial we learn how to install arpack in Fedora 36. arpack is Fortran 77 subroutines for solving large scale eigenvalue problems

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install arpack on Fedora 36.

What is arpack

ARPACK is a collection of Fortran 77 subroutines designed to solve large scale eigenvalue problems. The package is designed to compute a few eigenvalues and corresponding eigenvectors of a general n by n matrix A. It is most appropriate for large sparse or structured matrices A where structured means that a matrix-vector product w <- Av requires order n rather than the usual order n**2 floating point operations. This software is based upon an algorithmic variant of the Arnoldi process called the Implicitly Restarted Arnoldi Method (IRAM).

We can use yum or dnf to install arpack on Fedora 36. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install arpack.

Install arpack on Fedora 36 Using dnf

Update yum database with dnf using the following command.

sudo dnf makecache --refresh

After updating yum database, We can install arpack using dnf by running the following command:

sudo dnf -y install arpack

Install arpack on Fedora 36 Using yum

sudo yum -y install arpack

How To Uninstall arpack on Fedora 36

To uninstall only the arpack package we can use the following command:
