In this tutorial we learn how to install cgnslib on Rocky Linux 8. cgnslib is Computational Fluid Dynamics General Notation System

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install cgnslib on Rocky Linux 8.

What is `cgnslib`

The Computational Fluid Dynamics General Notation System (CGNS) provides a general, portable, and extensible standard for the storage and retrieval of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysisdata. It consists of a collection of conventions, and free and open software implementing those conventions. It is self-descriptive, machine-independent, well-documented, and administered by an international steering committee.

We can use yum or dnf to install cgnslib on Rocky Linux 8. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install cgnslib.

Install cgnslib on Rocky Linux 8 Using dnf

Update yum database with dnf using the following command.

sudo dnf makecache --refresh

After updating yum database, We can install cgnslib using dnf by running the following command:

sudo dnf -y install cgnslib

Install cgnslib on Rocky Linux 8 Using yum

Update yum database with yum using the following command.

sudo yum makecache --refresh

After updating yum database, We can install cgnslib using yum by running the following command:
