Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install gcc-toolset-10-gdb on CentOS 8.

What is `gcc-toolset-10-gdb`

GDB, the GNU debugger, allows you to debug programs written in C, C++, Java, and other languages, by executing them in a controlled fashion and printing their data.

We can use yum or dnf to install gcc-toolset-10-gdb on CentOS 8. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install gcc-toolset-10-gdb.
