In this tutorial we learn how to install elpa in Fedora 36. elpa is High-performance library for parallel solution of eigenvalue problems

Introduction

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

What is elpa

ELPA is a Fortran-based high-performance computational library for the (massively) parallel solution of symmetric or Hermitian, standard or generalized eigenvalue problems. This is the kind of eigenvalue problem which is frequently encountered in Electronic Structure Theory (solution of Schrödinger’s Equation or variants thereof), but also in many other fields. Typically, the solution effort scales as O(size^3), where “size” is a measure of the system size, for example the dimension of the associated matrices or the number of required eigenvalue/eigenvector pairs (less than or equal to the matrix dimension). Thus, an algebraically exact solution of the eigenproblem may quickly become the bottleneck in a practical application.

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

Install elpa 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 elpa using dnf by running the following command:

sudo dnf -y install elpa

Install elpa 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 elpa using yum by running the following command:

sudo yum -y install elpa

How To Uninstall elpa on Fedora 36

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

sudo dnf remove elpa
