Introduction

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

What is `ntl`

NTL is a high-performance, portable C++ library providing data structures and algorithms for arbitrary length integers; for vectors, matrices, and polynomials over the integers and over finite fields; and for arbitrary precision floating point arithmetic. NTL provides high quality implementations of state-of-the-art algorithms for * arbitrary length integer arithmetic and arbitrary precision floating point arithmetic; * polynomial arithmetic over the integers and finite fields including basic arithmetic, polynomial factorization, irreducibility testing, computation of minimal polynomials, traces, norms, and more; * lattice basis reduction, including very robust and fast implementations of Schnorr-Euchner, block Korkin-Zolotarev reduction, and the new Schnorr-Horner pruning heuristic for block Korkin-Zolotarev; * basic linear algebra over the integers, finite fields, and arbitrary precision floating point numbers. ntl 11.5.1 1.fc34 x86_64 888 k ntl-11.5.1-1.fc34.src.rpm updates High-performance algorithms for vectors, matrices, and polynomials https LGPLv2+ NTL is a high-performance, portable C++ library providing data structures and algorithms for arbitrary length integers; for vectors, matrices, and polynomials over the integers and over finite fields; and for arbitrary precision floating point arithmetic.

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

Install ntl 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 ntl using dnf by running the following command:

sudo dnf -y install ntl

Install ntl 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 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 ntl using yum by running the following command:

sudo yum -y install ntl

How To Uninstall ntl on Fedora 34

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

sudo dnf remove ntl
