How To Install grace on Fedora 34

grace is Numerical Data Processing and Visualization Tool

Introduction

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

What is grace

Grace is a Motif application for two-dimensional data visualization. Grace can transform the data using free equations, FFT, cross- and auto-correlation, differences, integrals, histograms, and much more. The generated figures are of high quality. Grace is a very convenient tool for data inspection, data transformation, and for making figures for publications.

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

Install grace 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 grace using dnf by running the following command:

sudo dnf -y install grace

Install grace on Fedora 34 Using yum

sudo yum makecache --refresh
