Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install singularity on Fedora 34.
What is singularity
Singularity provides functionality to make portable containers that can be used across host environments.
We can use yum or dnf to install singularity on Fedora 34. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install singularity.
Install singularity 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 singularity using dnf by running the following command:
sudo dnf -y install singularity
