How To Install ocaml-ctypes on Fedora 36
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install ocaml-ctypes on Fedora 36.
What is ocaml-ctypes
Ctypes is a library for binding to C libraries using pure OCaml. The primary aim is to make writing C extensions as straightforward as possible. The core of ctypes is a set of combinators for describing the structure of C types – numeric types, arrays, pointers, structs, unions and functions. You can use these combinators to describe the types of the functions that you want to call, then bind directly to those functions – all without writing or generating any C!
We can use yum or dnf to install ocaml-ctypes on Fedora 36. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install ocaml-ctypes.
Install ocaml-ctypes 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 ocaml-ctypes using dnf by running the following command:
sudo dnf -y install ocaml-ctypes
Install ocaml-ctypes 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 ocaml-ctypes using yum by running the following command:
sudo yum -y install ocaml-ctypes
How To Uninstall ocaml-ctypes on Fedora 36
To uninstall only the ocaml-ctypes package we can use the following command:
sudo dnf remove ocaml-ctypes
