How To Install naga on Fedora 34

naga is Simplified Java NIO asynchronous sockets

Introduction

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

What is naga

Naga aims to be a very small NIO library that provides a handful of java classes to wrap the usual Socket and ServerSocket with asynchronous NIO counterparts (similar to NIO2 planned for Java 1.7). All of this is driven from a single thread, making it useful for both client (e.g. allowing I/O to be done in the AWT-thread without any need for threads) and server programming (1 thread for all connections instead of 2 threads/connection). Internally Naga is a straightforward NIO implementation without any threads or event-queues thrown in, it is “just the NIO-stuff”, to let you build things on top of it. Naga contains the code needed to get NIO up and running without having to code partially read buffers and setting various selection key flags.

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