How To Install xcfun on Fedora 36

In this tutorial we learn how to install xcfun in Fedora 36. xcfun is A library of approximate exchange-correlation functionals

Introduction

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

What is xcfun

XCFun is a library of approximate exchange-correlation functionals, used in the Density Functional Theory description of electronic structure. Because XCFun is based on automatic differentiation the library can provide arbitrary order derivatives of all supported functionals. Only the exchange-correlation energy expression needs to be implemented, which is a huge gain in productivity (and also efficiency). For this reason the library is very well suited for high order time dependent DFT or for the development of new functionals.

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

Install xcfun 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 xcfun using dnf by running the following command:

sudo dnf -y install xcfun

Install xcfun on Fedora 36 Using yum
