How To Install gtkwave on CentOS 8
gtkwave is Waveform Viewer
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install gtkwave on CentOS 8.
What is gtkwave
GTKWave is a waveform viewer that can view VCD files produced by most Verilog simulation tools, as well as LXT files produced by certain Verilog simulation tools.
We can use yum or dnf to install gtkwave on CentOS 8. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install gtkwave.
Install gtkwave on CentOS 8 Using dnf
Update yum database with dnf using the following command.
sudo dnf makecache --refresh
The output should look something like this:
