How To Install pythia8 on Fedora 34
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install pythia8 on Fedora 34.
What is pythia8
PYTHIA is a program for the generation of high-energy physics events, i.e. for the description of collisions at high energies between elementary particles such as e⁺, e⁻, p and p̄ in various combinations. It contains theory and models for a number of physics aspects, including hard and soft interactions, parton distributions, initial and final-state parton showers, multiple interactions, fragmentation and decay. pythia8 8.3.03 2.fc34 x86_64 3.0 M pythia8-8.3.03-2.fc34.src.rpm updates Pythia Event Generator for High Energy Physics http GPLv2+ PYTHIA is a program for the generation of high-energy physics events, i.e. for the description of collisions at high energies between elementary particles such as e⁺, e⁻, p and p̄ in various combinations.

We can use yum or dnf to install pythia8 on Fedora 34. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install pythia8.
Install pythia8 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 pythia8 using dnf by running the following command:
sudo dnf -y install pythia8
Install pythia8 on Fedora 34 Using yum
Update yum database with yum using the following command.
sudo yum makecache --refresh

Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64 - Updates 17 kB/s | 5.9 kB 00:00
Metadata cache created.
After updating yum database, We can install pythia8 using yum by running the following command:
sudo yum -y install pythia8
How To Uninstall pythia8 on Fedora 34
To uninstall only the pythia8 package we can use the following command:
sudo dnf remove pythia8
