How To Install ck on CentOS 8

ck is Library for high performance concurrent programming

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install ck on CentOS 8.

What is `ck`

Concurrency Kit provides a plethora of concurrency primitives, safe memory reclamation mechanisms and lock-less and lock-free data structures designed to aid in the design and implementation of high performance concurrent systems. It is designed to minimize dependencies on operating system-specific interfaces and most of the interface relies only on a strict subset of the standard library and more popular compiler extensions.

We can use yum or dnf to install ck on CentOS 8. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install ck.
