Introduction

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

What is `rest`

This library was designed to make it easier to access web services that claim to be “RESTful”. A RESTful service should have urls that represent remote objects, which methods can then be called on. The majority of services don’t actually adhere to this strict definition. Instead, their RESTful end point usually has an API that is just simpler to use compared to other types of APIs they may support (XML-RPC, for instance). It is this kind of API that this library is attempting to support. rest 0.8.1 9.fc34 x86_64 69 k rest-0.8.1-9.fc34.src.rpm fedora A library for access to RESTful web services http LGPLv2 This library was designed to make it easier to access web services that claim to be “RESTful”.

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

Install rest 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:
