Introduction

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

What is gyp

GYP is a tool to generates native Visual Studio, Xcode and SCons and/or make build files from a platform-independent input format. Its syntax is a universal cross-platform build representation that still allows sufficient per-platform flexibility to accommodate irreconcilable differences.

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

Install gyp 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 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
