How To Install GeographicLib on Fedora 34

GeographicLib is Library for geographic coordinate transformations Library for geographic coordinate transformations

Introduction

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

What is GeographicLib

GeographicLib is a small set of C++ classes for performing conversions between geographic, UTM, UPS, MGRS, geocentric, and local Cartesian coordinates, for gravity (e.g., EGM2008), geoid height and geomagnetic field (e.g., WMM2010) calculations, and for solving geodesic problems. The emphasis is on returning accurate results with errors close to round-off (about 5–15 nanometers). New accurate algorithms for Geodesics on an ellipsoid of revolution and Transverse Mercator projection have been developed for this library. The functionality of the library can be accessed from user code, from the Utility programs provided, or via the Implementations in other languages.

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

Install GeographicLib 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 GeographicLib using dnf by running the following command:

sudo dnf -y install GeographicLib

Install GeographicLib 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 GeographicLib using yum by running the following command:

sudo yum -y install GeographicLib

How To Uninstall GeographicLib on Fedora 34

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

sudo dnf remove GeographicLib
