In this tutorial we learn how to install qca-qt5 in Fedora 36. qca-qt5 is Qt5 Cryptographic Architecture

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install qca-qt5 on Fedora 36.

What is qca-qt5

Taking a hint from the similarly-named Java Cryptography Architecture, QCA aims to provide a straightforward and cross-platform crypto API, using Qt datatypes and conventions. QCA separates the API from the implementation, using plugins known as Providers. The advantage of this model is to allow applications to avoid linking to or explicitly depending on any particular cryptographic library. This allows one to easily change or upgrade crypto implementations without even needing to recompile the application!

We can use yum or dnf to install qca-qt5 on Fedora 36. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install qca-qt5.
