Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install gyp on CentOS 8.
What is gyp
GYP is a tool to generates native Visual Studio, Xcode and SCons and/or make build files from a platform-independent input format. Its syntax is a universal cross-platform build representation that still allows sufficient per-platform flexibility to accommodate irreconcilable differences.
We can use yum or dnf to install gyp on CentOS 8. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install gyp.
Install gyp 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:
CentOS Linux 8 - AppStream 43 kB/s | 4.3 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - BaseOS 65 kB/s | 3.9 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - ContinuousRelease 43 kB/s | 3.0 kB 00:00
