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

What is `dlib`

Dlib is a general purpose cross-platform open source software library written in the C++ programming language. Its design is heavily influenced by ideas from design by contract and component-based software engineering. It contains components for dealing with networking, threads, graphical user interfaces, data structures, linear algebra, machine learning, image processing, data mining, XML and text parsing, numerical optimization, Bayesian networks, and numerous other tasks. dlib 19.22 1.fc34 x86_64 721 k dlib-19.22-1.fc34.src.rpm fedora A modern C++ toolkit containing machine learning algorithms http Boost Dlib is a general purpose cross-platform open source software library written in the C++ programming language.
