How To Install CharLS on AlmaLinux 8
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install CharLS on AlmaLinux 8.
What is CharLS
An optimized implementation of the JPEG-LS standard for loss less and near loss less image compression. JPEG-LS is a low-complexity standard that matches JPEG 2000 compression ratios. In terms of speed, CharLS outperforms open source and commercial JPEG LS implementations. JPEG-LS (ISO-14495-1/ITU-T.87) is a standard derived from the Hewlett Packard LOCO algorithm. JPEG LS has low complexity (meaning fast compression) and high compression ratios, similar to JPEG 2000. JPEG-LS is more similar to the old loss less JPEG than to JPEG 2000, but interestingly the two different techniques result in vastly different performance characteristics.
We can use yum or dnf to install CharLS on AlmaLinux 8. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install CharLS.
