How To Install qownnotes on Fedora 34

qownnotes is Plain-text file markdown note taking with Nextcloud integration

Introduction

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

What is qownnotes

QOwnNotes is the open source notepad with markdown support and todo list manager for GNU/Linux, Mac OS X and Windows, that works together with the default notes application of ownCloud and Nextcloud. You are able to write down your thoughts with QOwnNotes and edit or search for them later from your mobile device, like with CloudNotes or the ownCloud/Nextcloud web-service. The notes are stored as plain text files and are synced with ownCloud’s/Nextcloud’s file sync functionality. Of course other software, like Syncthing or Dropbox can be used too. I like the concept of having notes accessible in plain text files, like it is done in the ownCloud/Nextcloud notes apps, to gain a maximum of freedom, but I was not able to find a decent desktop note taking tool or a text editor, that handles them well. Out of this need QOwnNotes was born.
