How To Install lapack64_ on Fedora 34

lapack64_ is Numerical linear algebra package libraries

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install lapack64_ on Fedora 34.

What is lapack64_

LAPACK (Linear Algebra PACKage) is a standard library for numerical linear algebra. LAPACK provides routines for solving systems of simultaneous linear equations, least-squares solutions of linear systems of equations, eigenvalue problems, and singular value problems. Associated matrix factorizations (LU, Cholesky, QR, SVD, Schur, and generalized Schur) and related computations (i.e., reordering of Schur factorizations and estimating condition numbers) are also included. LAPACK can handle dense and banded matrices, but not general sparse matrices. Similar functionality is provided for real and complex matrices in both single and double precision. LAPACK is coded in Fortran90 and built with gcc. This build has 64bit INTEGER support and a symbol name suffix.

We can use yum or dnf to install lapack64_ on Fedora 34. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install lapack64_.

Install lapack64_ 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 Modular 34 - x86_64 - Updates             17 kB/s | 5.9 kB     00:00
Metadata cache created.

After updating yum database, We can install lapack64_ using dnf by running the following command:

sudo dnf -y install lapack64_

Install lapack64_ 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 - 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 lapack64_ using yum by running the following command:

sudo yum -y install lapack64_

How To Uninstall lapack64_ on Fedora 34

To uninstall only the lapack64_ package we can use the following command:

sudo dnf remove lapack64_
