How To Install E on Fedora 34
E is Equational Theorem Prover
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install E on Fedora 34.
What is E
E is a purely equational theorem prover for full first-order logic. That means it is a program that you can stuff a mathematical specification (in first-order format) and a hypothesis into, and which will then run forever, using up all of your machines’ resources. Very occasionally it will find a proof for the hypothesis and tell you so. E’s inference core is based on a modified version of the superposition calculus for equational clausal logic. Both clausification and reasoning on the clausal form can be documented in checkable proof objects. E was the best-performing open source software prover in the 2008 CADE ATP System Competition (CASC) in the FOF, CNF, and UEQ divisions. In the 2011 competition, it won second place in the FOF division, and placed highly in CNF and UEQ.
We can use yum or dnf to install E on Fedora 34. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install E.
Install E on Fedora 34 Using dnf
Update yum database with dnf using the following command.
sudo dnf makecache --refresh
The output should look something like this:
Fedora 34 - x86_64 20 kB/s | 6.6 kB 00:00
Fedora 34 openh264 (From Cisco) - x86_64 1.4 kB/s | 989 B 00:00
Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64 68 kB/s | 6.5 kB 00:00
Fedora 34 - x86_64 - Updates 3.5 kB/s | 6.2 kB 00:01
Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64 - Updates 17 kB/s | 5.9 kB 00:00
Metadata cache created.
After updating yum database, We can install E using dnf by running the following command:
sudo dnf -y install E
Install E on Fedora 34 Using yum
Update yum database with yum using the following command.
sudo yum makecache --refresh
The output should look something like this:
Fedora 34 - x86_64 20 kB/s | 6.6 kB 00:00
Fedora 34 openh264 (From Cisco) - x86_64 1.4 kB/s | 989 B 00:00
Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64 68 kB/s | 6.5 kB 00:00
Fedora 34 - x86_64 - Updates 3.5 kB/s | 6.2 kB 00:01
Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64 - Updates 17 kB/s | 5.9 kB 00:00
Metadata cache created.
After updating yum database, We can install E using yum by running the following command:
sudo yum -y install E
How To Uninstall E on Fedora 34
To uninstall only the E package we can use the following command:
sudo dnf remove E
