How To Install ed on Fedora 34
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install ed on Fedora 34.
What is ed
Ed is a line-oriented text editor, used to create, display, and modify text files (both interactively and via shell scripts). For most purposes, ed has been replaced in normal usage by full-screen editors (emacs and vi, for example). Ed was the original UNIX editor, and may be used by some programs.
