Introduction

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

What is monocypher

Monocypher is an easy to use cryptographic library. It provides functions for authenticated encryption, hashing, password hashing and key derivation, key exchange, and public key signatures. It is - Small. Monocypher contains under 2000 lines of code, small enough to allow audits. The binaries can be under 50KB, small enough for many embedded targets. - Easy to deploy. Just add monocypher.c and monocypher.h to your project. They compile as C99 or C++ and are dedicated to the public domain (CC0-1.0, alternatively 2-clause BSD). - Portable. There are no dependencies, not even on libc. - Honest. The API is small, consistent, and cannot fail on correct input. - Direct. The abstractions are minimal. A developer with experience in applied cryptography can be productive in minutes. - Fast. The primitives are fast to begin with, and performance wasn’t needlessly sacrificed. Monocypher holds up pretty well against Libsodium, despite being closer in size to TweetNaCl.

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

Install monocypher 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 monocypher using dnf by running the following command:

sudo dnf -y install monocypher

Install monocypher 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 monocypher using yum by running the following command:

sudo yum -y install monocypher

How To Uninstall monocypher on Fedora 36

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

sudo dnf remove monocypher
