Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install root-quadp on CentOS 8.

What is root-quadp

This package contains the QuadP library for ROOT. This provides the a framework in which to do Quadratic Programming. The quadratic programming problem involves minimization of a quadratic function subject to linear constraints.

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

Install root-quadp on CentOS 8 Using dnf
