How To Install cpphs on Fedora 34

cpphs is A liberalised C pre-processor for Haskell

Introduction

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

What is cpphs

Cpphs is a re-implementation of the C pre-processor that is both more compatible with Haskell, and itself written in Haskell so that it can be distributed with compilers. This version of the C pre-processor is pretty-much feature-complete and compatible with traditional (K&R) pre-processors. Additional features include a plain-text mode; an option to unlit literate code files; and an option to turn off macro-expansion.

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