How To Install geany-plugins-geanyctags on CentOS 8

What is geany-plugins-geanyctags
Even though Geany supports symbol definition searching by itself within the open files (and with a plugin support within the whole project), tag regeneration can become too slow for really big projects. This is why this plugin was created. It makes it possible to generate the tag file only once and just query it when searching for a particular symbol definition/declaration. This approach is fine for big projects where most of the codebase remains unchanged and the tag positions remain more or less static.
