How To Install radial on Fedora 34

radial is A simple program for calculating radial velocities of stars in a binary system

Introduction

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

What is `radial`

This program calculates the radial velocities of both stars in a binary system, allowing for user configuration of stellar masses, semimajor axis, inclination of orbital plane, orbital eccentricity, time to collect data, and calculation frequency. For your convenience, default values have been added to the program, so you can run it with nothing other than variable eccentricity, if you like.

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