How To Install slib on Fedora 34

slib is Platform independent library for scheme

Introduction

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

What is slib

“SLIB” is a portable library for the programming language Scheme. It provides a platform independent framework for using “packages” of Scheme procedures and syntax. As distributed, SLIB contains useful packages for all Scheme implementations. Its catalog can be transparently extended to accommodate packages specific to a site, implementation, user, or directory.

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

Install slib 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 slib using dnf by running the following command:

sudo dnf -y install slib

Install slib 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 slib using yum by running the following command:

sudo yum -y install slib

How To Uninstall slib on Fedora 34

To uninstall only the slib package we can use the following command:
