How To Install gpredict on Fedora 34

gpredict is Real-time satellite tracking and orbit prediction program

Introduction

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

What is gpredict

Gpredict is a real time satellite tracking and orbit prediction program written using the Gtk+ widgets. Gpredict is targeted mainly towards ham radio operators but others interested in satellite tracking may find it useful as well. Gpredict uses the SGP4/SDP4 algorithms, which are compatible with the NORAD Keplerian elements.

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

Install gpredict 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 gpredict using dnf by running the following command:

sudo dnf -y install gpredict

Install gpredict 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 gpredict using yum by running the following command:

sudo yum -y install gpredict

How To Uninstall gpredict on Fedora 34

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

sudo dnf remove gpredict
