How To Install automaton on Fedora 34

automaton is A Java finite state automata/regular expression library

Introduction

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

What is automaton

This Java package contains a DFA/NFA (finite-state automata) implementation with Unicode alphabet (UTF-16) and support for the standard regular expression operations (concatenation, union, Kleene star) and a number of non-standard ones (intersection, complement, etc.). In contrast to many other automaton/regexp packages, this package is fast, compact, and implements real, unrestricted regular operations. It uses a symbolic representation based on intervals of Unicode characters.

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

Install automaton on Fedora 34 Using dnf

Update yum database with dnf using the following command.

sudo dnf makecache --refresh

The output should look something like this:

Fedora 34 - x86_64                               20 kB/s | 6.6 kB     00:00
Fedora 34 openh264 (From Cisco) - x86_64        1.4 kB/s | 989  B     00:00
Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64                       68 kB/s | 6.5 kB     00:00
Fedora 34 - x86_64 - Updates                    3.5 kB/s | 6.2 kB     00:01
Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64 - Updates             17 kB/s | 5.9 kB     00:00
Metadata cache created.

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

sudo dnf -y install automaton

Install automaton 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
Fedora 34 openh264 (From Cisco) - x86_64        1.4 kB/s | 989  B     00:00
Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64                       68 kB/s | 6.5 kB     00:00
Fedora 34 - x86_64 - Updates                    3.5 kB/s | 6.2 kB     00:01
Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64 - Updates             17 kB/s | 5.9 kB     00:00
Metadata cache created.

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

sudo yum -y install automaton

How To Uninstall automaton on Fedora 34

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

sudo dnf remove automaton
