How To Install gabedit on Fedora 34

gabedit is GUI for computational chemistry

Introduction

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

What is gabedit

Gabedit is a Graphical User Interface to Gamess-US, Gaussian, Molcas, Molpro and MPQC computational chemistry packages. Gabedit includes graphical facilities for generating keywords and options, molecule specifications and their input sections for even the most advanced calculation types. Gabedit includes an advanced Molecule Builder. You can use it to rapidly sketch in molecules and examine them in three dimensions. You can build molecules by atom, ring, group, amino acid and nucleoside. You can also read geometry from a file. Most major molecular file formats are supported.

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

Install gabedit 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 gabedit using dnf by running the following command:

sudo dnf -y install gabedit

Install gabedit 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 - 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 gabedit using yum by running the following command:

sudo yum -y install gabedit

How To Uninstall gabedit on Fedora 34

To uninstall only the gabedit package we can use the following command:

sudo dnf remove gabedit
