How To Install qhull on Fedora 34

qhull is General dimension convex hull programs

Introduction

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

What is qhull

Qhull is a general dimension convex hull program that reads a set of points from stdin, and outputs the smallest convex set that contains the points to stdout. It also generates Delaunay triangulations, Voronoi diagrams, furthest-site Voronoi diagrams, and halfspace intersections about a point.

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