How To Install boltdb on Fedora 34

boltdb is Embedded key/value database for Go

Introduction

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

What is boltdb

Bolt is a pure Go key/value store inspired by Howard Chu’s LMDB project. The goal of the project is to provide a simple, fast, and reliable database for projects that don’t require a full database server such as Postgres or MySQL. Since Bolt is meant to be used as such a low-level piece of functionality, simplicity is key. The API will be small and only focus on getting values and setting values. That’s it. This package contains the bolt binary.
