How To Install DSDP on Fedora 36

In this tutorial we learn how to install DSDP in Fedora 36. DSDP is Software for semidefinite programming

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install DSDP on Fedora 36.

What is DSDP

DSDP is a free open source implementation of an interior-point method for semidefinite programming. It provides primal and dual solutions, exploits low-rank structure and sparsity in the data, and has relatively low memory requirements for an interior-point method. It allows feasible and infeasible starting points and provides approximate certificates of infeasibility when no feasible solution exists. The dual-scaling algorithm implemented in this package has a convergence proof and worst-case polynomial complexity under mild assumptions on the data. The software can be used as a set of subroutines, through Matlab, or by reading and writing to data files. Furthermore, the solver offers scalable parallel performance for large problems and a well documented interface. Some of the most popular applications of semidefinite programming and linear matrix inequalities (LMI) are model control, truss topology design, and semidefinite relaxations of combinatorial and global optimization problems.

We can use yum or dnf to install DSDP on Fedora 36. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install DSDP.

Install DSDP on Fedora 36 Using dnf

Update yum database with dnf using the following command.

sudo dnf makecache --refresh

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

sudo dnf -y install DSDP

Install DSDP on Fedora 36 Using yum

Update yum database with yum using the following command.

sudo yum makecache --refresh

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

sudo yum -y install DSDP

How To Uninstall DSDP on Fedora 36

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

sudo dnf remove DSDP

## Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install `DSDP` on Fedora 36.

### What is `DSDP`

> DSDP is a free open source implementation of an interior-point method for semidefinite programming.  It provides primal and dual solutions, exploits low-rank structure and sparsity in the data, and has relatively low memory requirements for an interior-point method.  It allows feasible and infeasible starting points and provides approximate certificates of infeasibility when no feasible solution exists.  The dual-scaling algorithm implemented in this package has a convergence proof and worst-case polynomial complexity under mild assumptions on the data.  The software can be used as a set of subroutines, through Matlab, or by reading and writing to data files.  Furthermore, the solver offers scalable parallel performance for large problems and a well documented interface.  Some of the most popular applications of semidefinite programming and linear matrix inequalities (LMI) are model control, truss topology design, and semidefinite relaxations of combinatorial and global optimization problems.  

We can use `yum` or `dnf` to install `DSDP` on Fedora 36. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install DSDP.

## Install DSDP on Fedora 36 Using dnf

Update yum database with `dnf` using the following command.

```bash
sudo dnf makecache --refresh

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

sudo dnf -y install DSDP

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

sudo yum -y install DSDP
