How To Install libstemmer on Fedora 34

libstemmer is C stemming algorithm library C stemming algorithm library

Introduction

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

What is `libstemmer`

Snowball stemming algorithms for use in Information Retrieval Snowball provides access to efficient algorithms for calculating a “stemmed” form of a word. This is a form with most of the common morphological endings removed; hopefully representing a common linguistic base form. This is most useful in building search engines and information retrieval software; for example, a search with stemming enabled should be able to find a document containing “cycling” given the query “cycles”. Snowball provides algorithms for several (mainly European) languages. It also provides access to the classic Porter stemming algorithm for English the original algorithm may be of interest to information retrieval researchers wishing to reproduce results of earlier experiments. libstemmer 0 16.585svn.fc34 x86_64 86 k libstemmer-0-16.585svn.fc34.src.rpm fedora C stemming algorithm library http BSD Snowball stemming algorithms for use in Information Retrieval Snowball provides access to efficient algorithms for calculating a “stemmed” form of a word.

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

Install libstemmer 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 libstemmer using dnf by running the following command:

sudo dnf -y install libstemmer

Install libstemmer 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
