How To Install gcovr on Fedora 34
gcovr is A code coverage report generator using GNU gcov
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install gcovr on Fedora 34.
What is gcovr
Gcovr provides a utility for managing the use of the GNU gcov utility and generating summarized code coverage results. This command is inspired by the Python coverage.py package, which provides a similar utility in Python. The gcovr command produces either compact human-readable summary reports, machine readable XML reports (in Cobertura format) or simple HTML reports. Thus, gcovr can be viewed as a command-line alternative to the lcov utility, which runs gcov and generates an HTML-formatted report.
We can use yum or dnf to install gcovr on Fedora 34. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install gcovr.
Install gcovr on Fedora 34 Using dnf
Update yum database with dnf using the following command.
sudo dnf makecache --refresh
