How To Install bionetgen on Fedora 34

bionetgen is Software for rule-based modeling of biochemical systems

Introduction

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

What is bionetgen

BioNetGen is software for the specification and simulation of rule-based models of biochemical systems, including signal transduction, metabolic, and genetic regulatory networks. The BioNetGen language has recently been extended to include explicit representation of compartments. A review of methods for rule-based modeling is available in Science Signaling (Sci. STKE, 18 July 2006, Issue 344, p. re6). BioNetGen is presently a mixture of Perl and C++. Network generation is currently implemented in Perl, the network simulator is C++, and a new language parser is being developed with ANTLR.

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