How To Install perl-Digest-HMAC on CentOS 8

perl-Digest-HMAC is Keyed-Hashing for Message Authentication

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install perl-Digest-HMAC on CentOS 8.

What is `perl-Digest-HMAC`

HMAC is used for message integrity checks between two parties that share a secret key, and works in combination with some other Digest algorithm, usually MD5 or SHA-1. The HMAC mechanism is described in RFC 2104. HMAC follow the common Digest the secret key and the name of some other simple Digest

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

Install perl-Digest-HMAC 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:
