How To Install insight on Fedora 34
insight is Graphical debugger based on GDB
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install insight on Fedora 34.
What is insight
Insight is a tight graphical user interface to GDB written in Tcl/Tk. It provides a comprehensive interface that enables users to harness most of GDB’s power. It’s also probably the only up-to-date UI for the latest GDB version.
We can use yum or dnf to install insight on Fedora 34. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install insight.
Install insight 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 insight using dnf by running the following command:
sudo dnf -y install insight
Install insight on Fedora 34 Using yum
