Introduction

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

What is `plotutils`

The GNU plotutils package contains software for both programmers and technical users. Its centerpiece is libplot, a powerful C/C++ function library for exporting 2-D vector graphics in many file formats, both vector and raster. It can also do vector graphics animations. Besides libplot, the package contains command-line programs for plotting scientific data. Many of them use libplot to export graphics plotutils 2.6 26.fc34 x86_64 1.2 M plotutils-2.6-26.fc34.src.rpm fedora GNU vector and raster graphics utilities and libraries http GPLv2+ and GPLv3+ The GNU plotutils package contains software for both programmers and technical users.

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

Install plotutils 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

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

sudo dnf -y install plotutils

Install plotutils on Fedora 34 Using yum

Update yum database with yum using the following command.

sudo yum makecache --refresh
