How To Install COPASI on Fedora 34

COPASI is Biochemical network simulator

Introduction

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

What is COPASI

COPASI is a software application for simulation and analysis of biochemical networks and their dynamics. COPASI is a stand-alone program that supports models in the SBML standard and can simulate their behavior using ODEs or Gillespie’s stochastic simulation algorithm; arbitrary discrete events can be included in such simulations. COPASI carries out several analyses of the network and its dynamics and has extensive support for parameter estimation and optimization. COPASI provides means to visualize data in customizable plots, histograms and animations of network diagrams.

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