How To Install smartsim on Fedora 34

smartsim is Digital logic circuit design and simulation package

Introduction

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

What is smartsim

SmartSim is a free and open source digital logic circuit design and simulation package. SmartSim lets you create complex circuits by allowing you to create your own custom components and including them in other circuits, as if they were any other built-in component. These larger circuits can then also be included in other designs as sub-components. SmartSim also offers the ability to print out or export your circuit designs to PDF, PNG, or SVG. When you have finished designing your circuit, SmartSim offers an interactive simulation feature, allowing you to control your circuit and explore inside sub-components whilst the circuit is running. SmartSim also allows you to produce logic timing diagrams from your simulation’s activity, which can then be exported to PDF, PNG, and SVG formats.

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

Install smartsim 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 Modular 34 - x86_64 - Updates             17 kB/s | 5.9 kB     00:00
Metadata cache created.

After updating yum database, We can install smartsim using dnf by running the following command:

sudo dnf -y install smartsim

Install smartsim 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 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 smartsim using yum by running the following command:

sudo yum -y install smartsim

How To Uninstall smartsim on Fedora 34

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

sudo dnf remove smartsim
