How To Install abc on Fedora 34

abc is Sequential logic synthesis and formal verification

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install abc on Fedora 34.

What is abc

ABC is a growing software system for synthesis and verification of binary sequential logic circuits appearing in synchronous hardware designs. ABC combines scalable logic optimization based on And-Inverter Graphs (AIGs), optimal-delay DAG-based technology mapping for look-up tables and standard cells, and innovative algorithms for sequential synthesis and verification. ABC provides an experimental implementation of these algorithms and a programming environment for building similar applications. Future development will focus on improving the algorithms and making most of the packages stand-alone. This will allow the user to customize ABC for their needs as if it were a toolbox rather than a complete tool.

We can use yum or dnf to install abc on Fedora 34. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install abc.

Install abc on Fedora 34 Using dnf

Update yum database with dnf using the following command.

sudo dnf makecache --refresh

Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64 - Updates             17 kB/s | 5.9 kB     00:00
Metadata cache created.

After updating yum database, We can install abc using dnf by running the following command:

sudo dnf -y install abc

Install abc on Fedora 34 Using yum

Update yum database with yum using the following command.

sudo yum makecache --refresh

The output should look something like this:

Fedora 34 - x86_64                               20 kB/s | 6.6 kB     00:00

After updating yum database, We can install abc using yum by running the following command:

sudo yum -y install abc

How To Uninstall abc on Fedora 34

To uninstall only the abc package we can use the following command:

sudo dnf remove abc
