How To Install xdrawchem on Fedora 34
xdrawchem is 2D chemical structures drawing tool
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install xdrawchem on Fedora 34.
What is xdrawchem
XDrawChem is a two-dimensional molecule drawing program for Unix operating systems. It is similar in functionality to other molecule drawing programs such as ChemDraw (TM, CambridgeSoft). It can read and write MDL Molfiles and CML files to allow sharing between XDrawChem and other chemistry applications.
We can use yum or dnf to install xdrawchem on Fedora 34. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install xdrawchem.
Install xdrawchem 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 xdrawchem using dnf by running the following command:
sudo dnf -y install xdrawchem
Install xdrawchem 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 xdrawchem using yum by running the following command:
sudo yum -y install xdrawchem
How To Uninstall xdrawchem on Fedora 34
To uninstall only the xdrawchem package we can use the following command:
sudo dnf remove xdrawchem
