How To Install reuse on Fedora 34

reuse is A tool for compliance with the REUSE recommendations

Introduction

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

What is reuse

A tool for compliance with the REUSE recommendations. Essentially, it is a linter that checks for a project’s compliance, and a compiler that generates a project’s bill of materials.

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

Install reuse 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 reuse using dnf by running the following command:

sudo dnf -y install reuse

Install reuse on Fedora 34 Using yum

Update yum database with yum using the following command.

sudo yum 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 reuse using yum by running the following command:
